Advancing Digital Assets with Over 70 Industry Leaders on Capitol Hill 

Meeting w/ Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL)

The Digital Chamber (TDC) proudly kicked off the 119th Congress with a fly-in and welcome event, bringing together over 70 digital asset companies to engage with policymakers on Capitol Hill. This event set the stage for a transformative legislative session focused on advancing pro-crypto initiatives. 

This Congress marks a historic turning point for digital assets, as it represents the first “pro-crypto” majority Congress, alongside the first pro-Bitcoin and digital asset President. The evolving political landscape provides a significant opportunity to establish clear, forward-thinking digital asset policies, and TDC is committed to ensuring that the United States leads the global blockchain revolution.

A Day of Advocacy on Capitol Hill 

On January 22nd, TDC and its members met with Congressional leaders from both parties, sharing a clear and unified message: the United States must act decisively to foster innovation and establish itself as a global leader in digital asset technology. 

The discussions focused on three critical priorities: 

  • Implementing clear and thoughtful digital asset regulations. 
  • Encouraging collaboration between lawmakers, industry leaders, and regulators. 
  • Promoting proactive policymaking and education to drive innovation. 

Freshman members of Congress demonstrated an impressive understanding of digital asset technology, underscoring that this is the most crypto-educated Congress in history. Both new and veteran members expressed enthusiasm about working with TDC and industry stakeholders to advance policies that will shape the future of the digital asset economy. 

Key Highlights from the Day 

  • Freshman Representation: The 119th Congress includes 63 freshman Representatives (33 Democrats, 30 Republicans) and 12 freshman Senators (4 Democrats, 8 Republicans). Many are pro-crypto, reflecting the growing bipartisan recognition of the importance of blockchain technology. 
  • New Senate Subcommittee on Digital Assets: The Senate Banking Committee has established a subcommittee on digital assets, chaired by Senator Cynthia Lummis. This signals that digital asset legislation will be a priority in the months ahead. 
  • Bipartisan Momentum: A strong bipartisan effort is underway to drive legislation that promotes the growth of the U.S. digital asset economy. Discussions moved beyond the security vs. commodity debate, with lawmakers expressing interest in addressing stablecoin, NFT, custody, and blockchain-enabled AI legislation. 

Building Momentum for 2025
