Key priorities include defining clear SEC and CFTC oversight roles, protecting non-custodial developers, simplifying disclosure rules, and avoiding a patchwork of state laws.
The letter cites the risk of returning to "regulation by enforcement," referring to a series of court cases brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) that defined policy under President Joe Biden.
More than 100 signatories are backing the effort. These include high-profile companies including Coinbase, Circle Internet, Kraken, Ripple, Andreessen Horowitz, Paradigm, Consensys, Anchorage Digital and Galaxy Digital alongside developer groups, state blockchain associations and university chapters of Stand With Crypto.
The coalition flagged six priorities for lawmakers to address. These include preserving consumer rewards tied to payment stablecoins, defining oversight roles for the SEC and CFTC, and protecting developers who build non-custodial tools.
It also called for disclosure rules that are easier to follow and a federal standard that avoids a patchwork of state laws.
Other major jurisdictions, such as the European Union, have already enacted comprehensive cryptocurrency frameworks, and the group warned that the absence of U.S. legislation risks pushing investment, jobs and development offshore.
America needs clear, comprehensive rules for digital asset markets. It is a global race to the top, and it is important for the U.S. to lead,” Ji Hun Kim, CEO of the Crypto Council for Innovation, in an email.
The Senate Banking Committee can build on years of bipartisan work and the GENIUS Act's success by advancing legislation that delivers regulatory clarity, robust consumer protections, and strong safeguards for developers. A markup will move us closer to durable rules that ensure the U.S. sets the global standard for digital asset markets,” Kim said.

Global oil prices fell and rose again on Wednesday after US President Donald Trump said he would extend a ceasefire with Iran until peace talks between the two countries have progressed.
He added that the US will continue to blockade Iran's ports until Tehran presents a "unified proposal".
After opening higher in Asia, the global benchmark wholesale oil price dipped to $97.60 (£72.14) a barrel.
But the price rose again as reports of ships being attacked in the Strait of Hormuz emerged, with the price briefly hitting $100 a barrel before falling back slightly.
Energy markets have been volatile since the US and Israel attacked Iran on 28 February and Tehran responded with threats to target vessels in the key Strait of Hormuz waterway.
The initial two-week ceasefire had been due to expire on Wednesday evening Washington time. Trump did not give a new deadline for the ceasefire extension.
Trump said on Truth Social that the Iranian government has been "seriously fractured" and that the US will hold off from launching new attacks after Pakistan called for more time for Tehran to agree a deal.
Vice President JD Vance, who is leading the US negotiations, had been expected to fly to Islamabad in Pakistan for talks on Tuesday. The White House has now said he will not be going.
Iran has also not decided whether to send a delegation to Pakistan for talks with the US, a foreign ministry spokesperson told the BBC.
Traders remain cautious about what wil happen next in the war, said associate professor Jiajia Yang from Australia's James Cook University.
This is less about barrels [of oil] and more about expectations," Yang said.
The cost of crude has soared since the start of the conflict due to the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's energy usually passes, being effectively closed by Iran.
