Odaily Planet Daily News On Friday afternoon local time, Republican Congressman Mike Johnson, supported by Trump, secured enough votes to successfully reappoint as Speaker of the House. Johnson is considered crypto-friendly, having previously voted in favor of the '21st Century Financial Innovation and Technology Act' (commonly known as FIT21) and the anti-central bank digital currency (CBDC) bill. Johnson's reappointment and Emmer's continued role as the Majority Whip suggest that crypto-friendly members in Congress are likely to push for cryptocurrency legislation in 2025.
