For more than a year, the crypto industry has been trying to muscle its agenda through Congress. Their goal has stayed the same the entire time: weaken oversight, box out regulators, and lock in rules that protect Trump’s crypto ventures and industry insiders while the public takes the risk.
They assumed this would be a quick win. They assumed crypto bills would slide through committees with bipartisan cover and little scrutiny. They were wrong.
Thanks to our work, together with leaders in Congress like Senator Elizabeth Warren and Congresswoman Maxine Waters, we’re winning these fights.
AFR has been on the ground, stopping the crypto industry every step of the way. We organized and led coalition letters opposing industry-written bills. We briefed Senate and House staff on the real risks hidden behind the marketing language. Our nationwide network sent tens of thousands of direct messages pressuring Congress to block these crypto giveaways.
We’re winning, but the legislative fight continues.
Each time the industry hit resistance, it regrouped. Bills were renamed. Provisions were reshuffled. Talking points were rewritten. The scams were rebranded and sent back into the process. That pattern exists for one reason: They think they can wait the public out and pass legislation now that we’re not looking.
They’re wrong again.
Help us finish the job. Contribute to Americans for Financial Reform and fuel the research, advocacy, coalition work, and public pressure with the resources we need to win now.
