With numerous regulatory speak centered round The GENIUS Act and The CLARITY Act (the market construction invoice) proper now, it’s vital that Bitcoin lovers additionally take note of and help The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) — H.R. 1747.
The act, which was reintroduced to Congress on May 21, 2025 by Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) and Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), gives “secure harbor from licensing and registration for sure non-controlling blockchain builders and suppliers of blockchain providers.”
It additionally stipulates that no blockchain developer or supplier of a blockchain service shall be handled as a cash transmitter until the builders or suppliers behind the undertaking have management over consumer funds.
This invoice is related as a result of the builders for each Samourai Wallet and Tornado Cash are presently dealing with costs for working unlicensed cash transmitter companies, even supposing the builders for neither of those applied sciences ever had management over consumer funds.
It’s additionally vital as a result of, beneath the Biden administration, the U.S. Division of Justice (DoJ) didn’t simply classify privateness providers as cash transmitters, however ancillary providers equivalent to Lightning nodes, rollup sequencers, and different Bitcoin and blockchain know-how, as effectively.
If the BRCA isn’t enacted into regulation, there’s a threat that every one Bitcoin and crypto wallets in addition to different noncustodial providers and applied sciences will probably be made unlawful and/or topic to KYC/AML legal guidelines.
Whereas Rep. Emmer and Rep. Torres’ reintroducing this invoice is a optimistic step, the congressmen want our assist in making the BRCA a precedence for this present Congress.

If this act doesn’t cross, we’ll face vital hurdles concerning the scaling of Bitcoin and different blockchains in addition to round privateness.
Sure, sure, I do know a few of you’re saying to yourselves Bitcoin will win no matter our actions (or that it’s already gained) and that we don’t want to interact with politicians within the course of.
I’m right here to say 1.) this isn’t essentially true, 2.) there are 4 builders presently dealing with trial (the Samourai and Twister Money builders) and pushing to get this invoice handed might assist them, 3.) if this invoice doesn’t cross, scaling Bitcoin could also be far more tough, and 4.) there’s a actuality by which we hand over numerous our authorized proper to privateness when utilizing Bitcoin if the invoice doesn’t cross.
So, with these factors in thoughts, choose up the telephone and/or ship an e mail to your elected representatives and inform them you’d wish to see them help the BRCA.
