During his tenure at @SECGov, Director Grewal pursued a needless and arbitrary “regulation by enforcement” strategy that has only created uncertainty and challenges for digital asset companies.
Hopefully, @SECGov will now turn the page and adopt an approach that fosters a fair and transparent regulatory environment for all market participants.

While Congress has been hard at work to establish a regulatory framework for digital assets though #FIT21, time and time again, @SECgov has chosen to bring numerous enforcement actions in an attempt to front-run Congress.

Former President @realDonaldTrump is a strong voice for #Crypto. There is a future for crypto in America, which is why it’s crucial that #FIT21 becomes law to ensure #DigitalAssets have a regulatory framework that protects consumers and investors while keeping innovation in our country.
Unlike Kamala Harris, Trump has shown unwavering support for the crypto community, and his announcement tonight furthers that support.
