On July 17, 2025, Flood announced the House passage of new digital asset legislation, stating, "Today, the House took a historic, bipartisan step by passing the CLARITY Act. Now the Senate must pass this commonsense bill and send it to President @realDonaldTrump’s desk.

Later that day, he noted further progress on financial regulation reform: "Thanks to a bipartisan, bicameral effort, the GENIUS Act will soon become law once President @realDonaldTrump signs it.
