US Lawmaker French Hill Doubles Down On Trump’s Pro-Crypto Stance

As a researcher with a background in financial markets and blockchain technology, I’m excited about the potential implications of French Hill’s endorsement of Donald Trump’s pro-crypto stance. Hill’s experience as a lawmaker gives him unique insights into the regulatory landscape and the potential impact of different approaches on the crypto industry.


United States legislator French Hill commented that during his presidency, Donald Trump would adopt a more favorable stance towards cryptocurrencies than the current administration. The build-up to the Presidential Election has brought crypto into the spotlight with lawmakers making significant declarations before the votes are cast. Trump himself has taken steps to advocate for the cryptocurrency sector.

French Hill Backs Trump’s Pro Crypto Stance

In a recent interview with CNBC, Republican congressman French Hill shared his perspective on the cryptocurrency regulatory framework that he believes the Trump administration might implement. He suggested that the recently enacted FIT21 bill could serve as a model for this approach.

The recently passed House bill #FIT21, which received the votes of 71 Democrats, represents the type of regulatory structure for digital assets that would likely gain former President Trump’s approval if he were in office once again.

As a crypto investor, I’m keeping a close eye on the FIT21 bill, which is expected to bring clarity and protection to both investors and consumers in the digital asset market. This legislation will outline the definitive roles and powers of key regulatory bodies, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), providing much-needed structure to the industry. Based on recent reports, I believe President Trump is likely to support this bill due to its guidance on the specific regulatory framework that these agencies will implement.

As a crypto investor, I strongly believe that for those who are pioneering new tokens or related firms in the cryptocurrency sphere, it’s essential to establish a robust framework for asset custody and consumer protection. This approach is crucial and is what I would advocate for the President to endorse, even if we haven’t managed to pass this legislation between now and the end of this Congress.

Furthermore, he tipped Trump to be a pro-growth and innovative President on financial matters. 

Crypto Becoming Mainstream

During this election period, the crypto sector gained prominence in public discourse as its usage spread among various demographics. Politicians have shown increasing interest, from being supporters to sponsoring favorable legislation in Congress. The regulatory environment in the US has been under fire for hindering growth through frequent SEC lawsuits. In response, industry leaders advocated for pro-crypto regulations and contributed financially to pro-industry political candidates.
