With clear guidelines, digital asset developers can innovate and advance currency by sticking to the rules without the fear of lawsuits by regulators.\n\nThe Financial Innovation and Technology (FIT) for the 21st Century Actprovides a structure for Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulators for digital assets, including those in the gray area between security and commodity jurisdictions.\n\nJohnson also introduced a resolution expressing support for digital asset markets and blockchain technology. It addresses the need for the functional framework to bridge the gap in regulatory framework.\n\n\u201cThe digital asset space is muddled with regulatory uncertainty, lack of authority, and a lacking framework for core operating principles,\u201d said Johnson. \u201cThe crypto industry wants clarity, and our collaborative bill gives both the CFTC and SEC a seat at the table. Our bill establishes clear principles to ensure financial security and certainty as blockchain technology continues to innovate.\u201d\n\nAdditional Resources:\n\nFinancial Innovation and Technology (FIT) for the 21st Century Act:\n\nFor full bill text, click here.\n\nFor a section-by-section summary, click here.\n\nFor additional background, click here.\n\nFor a myth vs. fact breakdown, click here.\n\nJohnson Resolution", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:18:03Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://dustyjohnson.house.gov/media/press-releases/johnson-bills-bring-clarity-cryptocurrency"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8962699212133884, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
