The Bitcoin Historian Claims Pappas Voted for Two Crypto Bills
A Nov. 7 post alleged the New Hampshire Democrat voted for both measures while in Congress, but listed no vote dates or roll-call references.
A Nov. 7 post from The Bitcoin Historian claimed Rep. Chris Pappas voted for the CLARITY Act and GENIUS Act while serving in Congress.
The account, @pete_rizzo_, wrote that Pappas voted yes on both measures as a congressman. The post provided no vote dates or roll-call references.
In 2025, the House approved the CLARITY Act with 78 Democrats and 216 Republicans among those voting yes. The proposal would set federal rules for U.S. digital-asset markets and spell out how federal law applies to those assets.
The Senate's cloture effort failed Sept. 15 in a 49-50 vote on a motion to proceed to H.R. 3633, leaving the measure stalled after the Senate setback.
