Representative Jim Himes voted in favor of advancing H.R. 4763, the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act, out of the House Financial Services Committee. The recorded vote showed 35 ayes to 15 nays.
H.R. 4763, the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act is a comprehensive market structure bill that would protect consumers, ensure crypto companies have robust rules, and create clarity for job creators and blockchain builders.
