Warnock Statement on Senate Markup of the Digital Commodity Intermediaries Act

Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (D-GA) released the following statement after his vote to consider passage of the Digital Commodity Intermediaries Act in the Senate Agriculture Committee.

"I am bitterly disappointed that the majority chose to abandon the bipartisan pathway that is needed to pass a bill into law. While I voted no today, I am not done working on this legislation. The bipartisan draft included some very strong policy provisions, many of which will help protect consumers who trade and invest in crypto. When I was elected to the Senate, I promised that I would always center the people, and I take that commitment seriously. I look forward to continuing to work with the majority, with consumers and investors, and with industry stakeholders to pass a market structure bill into law that protects consumers and ensures that there are clear rules for digital asset investors, customers, and businesses."
