A bipartisan group of US lawmakers, led by Representatives Ritchie Torres and Tom Emmer, has announced the formation of the Congressional Crypto Caucus to advance digital asset policies and cement the US’s leadership in blockchain innovation.
The caucus, unveiled on March 3, aims to function as a voting bloc to push forward key legislative efforts in the crypto space, including stablecoin regulations and market structure reforms.
This initiative follows the establishment of the Congressional Blockchain Caucus, which emerged during the Obama administration to explore blockchain technology. However, the new caucus will focus specifically on legislative mobilization, helping to shape crypto-friendly regulations in the House of Representatives.

The timing of the caucus aligns with ongoing efforts in Congress to introduce a regulatory framework for dollar-based stablecoins. A bill, introduced by Representatives French Hill and Bryan Steil on February 7, seeks to provide a clear structure for stablecoins in the US. Maxine Waters has also expressed support for stablecoin legislation, signaling growing bipartisan interest in crypto regulation.
Additionally, lawmakers are considering a revamped version of the FIT21 market structure bill, which was initially passed in 2024. This legislation aims to clarify oversight responsibilities for digital asset markets, ensuring consumer protection while fostering innovation.
The launch of the Congressional Crypto Caucus comes amid a broader political shift toward crypto-friendly policies. President Donald Trump recently directed his Working Group on Digital Assets to include Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and Cardano in the US strategic crypto reserve. Furthermore, Trump is set to host the first White House Crypto Summit on March 7, further signaling Washington’s increasing focus on digital assets.
With a growing number of lawmakers advocating for clearer and more supportive regulations, the formation of the Congressional Crypto Caucus represents a significant step toward solidifying the US as a global leader in blockchain technology and digital asset policy.
