Democrats have delivered on innovation and entrepreneurship with the CHIPS and Science Act and the IRA. The White House should also support @PatrickMcHenry's FIT21 Act to bring regulatory clarity for blockchain and crypto and support those jobs here in the US. pic.twitter.com/R5mJUGvzKn

"I still think that Bitcoin and blockchain have use cases in places with high inflation where you don't have responsible fed institutions and treasury departments... I don't think you can dismiss all of the use cases of blockchain or Bitcoin. That said we need far more regulation. Most importantly, things like Terra that took place where you had an algorithmic stablecoin without U.S. backing; there needs to be reserve requirements, there needs to be clear disclosure requirements on cryptocurrencies of what is taking place."

“It’s a huge tool,” he said. “I mean, what is cryptocurrency? At its core, it’s a technology that allows decentralization, it takes away a need for a third-party. You have a ledger, basically an accounting book that’s public, so you don’t need third-party verification.”

This logic, that the benefits of the digital economy must be decentralized, lines up with how he views crypto. To Khanna, crypto and other digital assets present an opportunity to “move power away from the financial or big tech centers and structure things in a way that gives more people ownership,” he told Yahoo Finance.
