Hill Collected At Least $180,500 From The Crypto Industry While Chairing The Committee That Regulates It. According to the Washington Examiner, "Hill, the chairman of the House Committee on Financial Services, has quickly collected $180,500 in campaign contributions from an array of election spenders across the cryptocurrency sector, including $12,000 each from Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, partners at the venture capital behemoth Andreessen Horowitz, which boasts the largest-ever crypto venture fund."

Consumer Groups Said Hill's Crypto Bills Were "Crafted By And For The Crypto Industry." According to Americans for Financial Reform, "The CLARITY Act was crafted by and for the crypto industry and expands upon the deregulatory giveaways proposed in FIT 21. The pitifully weak and loophole-ridden legislation is a giveaway to crypto firms, investors, and billionaires that will expose crypto investors -- and the financial system and real economy -- to growing risk, rampant fraud, and money laundering without effective and sufficient investor protections."
