U.S. Lawmakers Unveil Draft Bill to Regulate Digital Assets

Washington, D.C. — Key members of the U.S. House of Representatives have introduced a draft bill aimed at creating a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets in the United States. The proposed legislation is a joint effort by several influential lawmakers, including French Hill, Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee; G.T. Thompson, Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee; Bryan Steil, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Artificial Intelligence; and Dusty Johnson, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Commodity Markets, Digital Assets, and Rural Development.

The draft bill responds to the growing demand for clear, consistent rules governing the digital asset sector, which includes cryptocurrencies, blockchain-based technologies, and related financial instruments. Lawmakers say the initiative is designed to foster innovation while ensuring investor protection and market integrity.

If passed, the legislation would mark a significant step toward defining the roles of federal agencies such as the SEC and CFTC in overseeing digital assets, addressing regulatory uncertainty that has long challenged the industry.

The bill is currently open for review and discussion as Congress considers its next steps in shaping the future of digital finance in the U.S.
