The resolution, which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, described the importance of transparency, security, and authentication of technologies such as Bitcoin and blockchain technology in the economy of the United States, and the impact of a legitimate policy on emerging technologies.
The opening section of the H.R 835 notes five major statistics to emphasize the significance of alternative technologies in various industries of the country: financial opportunities, growth of the mobile industry, rapid development of blockchain technologies, cases of identity theft and transparency of non-fiat currencies.
Financial Opportunities and Growth of Mobile Services
The resolution acknowledges this new era of emerging financial technologies, methods, and strategies:
“Whereas technology solutions have the potential to improve consumers’ ability to control their economic well-being, to encourage their financial literacy, and improve their knowledge base and increase their options to manage their finances and engage in commerce; Whereas new payment methods and new payment strategies reflect new commercial opportunities. ”
Considering the financial benefits of consumers, the resolution proposes that the United States develop a “national policy to encourage the development of tools for consumers to learn and protect their assets.”
Kinzinger’s resolution also notes the exponential growth of the mobile market and the increasing number of mobile devices and deployment of broadband access in the country. According to the Federal Reserve’s “Consumers and Mobile Financial Services Report,” the percentage of mobile banking users have almost doubled since 2012.
The statistics provided by the Federal Reserve disregards the number of mobile users that rely on alternative payment networks such as bitcoin and other mainstream financial services including Skrill. Thus, the surging growth of the mobile market could potentially be one of the major factors that encourages mainstream adoption of emerging financial technologies.
