Pro-Crypto Congressman Tom Emmer Appointed Vice Chair of Digital Assets Subcommittee

Congressman Tom Emmer, a well-known advocate for the cryptocurrency industry, has been named Vice Chair of the House Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Artificial Intelligence. Committee Chairman French Hill made the announcement on January 14 as part of the House Financial Services Committee’s subcommittee assignments for the 119th Congress. Emmer expressed his enthusiasm for the role in a January 15 X post, stating that with President Trump in the White House and Gary Gensler confined to the waste bin of Washington, there is an excellent opportunity to ensure that the future of digital assets is guided by Americans, with American values. He added that he looks forward to collaborating with his colleagues to create a regulatory environment that supports innovation and growth in the digital assets sector.
