Here's something strange: The Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21), which passed the House of Representatives on Bitcoin Pizza Day, has not been sent to the other chamber yet.
Zoom in: Axios reviewed several recently passed pieces of legislation. All but one went over reasonably quickly, often the same day.
On Congress.gov, those bills are marked "Received in the Senate" under actions. FIT21's isn't.
What they're saying: Axios has asked a number of people who care about the bill, and no one else had noticed this stagnation.
But they all thought it odd.
Friction point: Revenue has to originate in the House, and the bill has a little funding mechanism (Section 510).
House leaders might be worried that Senators could try to use it as a vehicle for other new sources of revenue.
The Speaker's office hasn't gotten back to us though, so we don't know.
