In a Monday evening interview with Larry Kudlow on Fox Business, Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) voiced strong support for President Trumpโs latest economic agenda, particularly its emphasis on deregulation and access to cryptocurrency.
Tuberville, the sitting Senator since 2021, spotlighted his โFreedomโs Act,โ a policy that would allow Americans to invest their retirement funds in Bitcoin (BTC) and other altcoins. Tuberville introduced his act in 2022 and 2023 but it failed to make any notable progress. He hopes that now with the backing of President Donald Trump his vision can become a reality.
โPresident Trump has become the crypto president and we want to help him with this,โ he said. โThis would be something good for everybodyโฆ diversify. Itโs a free country., do what you want with your money.
Tuberville contrasted Trumpโs crypto-friendly policies with what he described as the Biden administrationโs that โdidnโt want anything to do with crypto.โ
Part of a bgger economic push
The senator linked the pro-crypto stance to Trumpโs wider economic vision, which includes deregulation, tax cuts, energy independence, and trade reform. He argued that deregulation through executive orders is a necessary move to counter Democrat opposition and provide Americans โa chance to breathe for onceโ after four years of being โstrangled.โ
โWe have to get this doneโฆ if weโve got to stay up here every night, all through the weekend,โ Tuberville said. โAmerican people have to know that the tax cuts are going to be done and done permanently.โ
As Trumpโs โLiberation Dayโ announcement approaches, Tuberville made it clear: crypto is no longer a fringe issue, rather itโs at the center of the GOPโs economic strategy.
