Driving Crypto and AI Regulation
The Subcommittee, formed in 2023, plays a key role in regulating cryptocurrencies and exploring financial technology. Emmer’s appointment allows him to lead efforts in creating clear regulations for the crypto market.
This includes protecting users and ensuring crypto exchanges operate under secure, transparent guidelines. Emmer has worked on significant crypto-related legislation. He helped pass the FIT21 Bill in May 2024.

Under Gensler, the SEC has taken a strict stance, suing major crypto companies and creating uncertainty. Emmer is also a vocal critic of government overreach in the digital currency space.
He championed the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act, which blocks the Federal Reserve from launching a “surveillance-style” Central Bank Digital Currency. Emmer’s stance on digital assets reflects his broader commitment to limiting government control while fostering innovation in the sector.
