Tom Emmer, a U.S. congressman who supports digital assets, was elected House Republicans' whip, the party's second-highest leadership position in the chamber.

In a secret ballot, Emmer defeated Texas Congressman August Pfluger by a vote of 103–76. He previously served as the Republican majority whip and will continue as the party's second-in-command in the House under new minority leader Jim Jordan.

Democrats are preparing to take control of Congress in January. Earlier, in March 2025, Emmer and Representative Ritchie Torres announced the formation of a bipartisan crypto caucus to build support for digital asset legislation, including bills on stablecoins and market structure.

Emmer was also one of the original co-sponsors of the CLARITY Act and introduced the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act. The bill aims to clarify that blockchain developers and infrastructure providers who do not control customers’ funds are not considered money transmitters under federal law.
