Later that day, Rep. Roy discussed fiscal responsibility concerning cryptocurrency regulation.

In another tweet from June 5, 2025, Rep. Roy addressed concerns about artificial intelligence policy within the same legislative framework. He commented “We raised a fuss about it… I think we should be careful about that but states should be able to regulate it. We should fix that and allow states to be able to get involved.” Here he advocated for state-level regulatory involvement in AI governance.
