Crypto Is Running Out of Time in Congress: Rep. Dusty Johnson

After years of regulatory uncertainty, crypto market structure legislation is closer to becoming law than at any point in the industry's history. But according to Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-SD), one of the architects behind both FIT21 and the CLARITY Act, the industry's biggest challenge may no longer be writing the legislation — it may be beating the clock. In this interview from the Solana Policy Institute's Solana Summit in Chicago, Johnson joins Kristin Smith to discuss why he believes Congress must act now, what lawmakers learned from FIT21, how the CLARITY Act evolved, the role of the White House and David Sacks, and why the Senate may be crypto's final hurdle. Johnson also offers a candid assessment of Washington's political realities, warning that the coalition responsible for advancing crypto legislation may not exist forever.
