FIT21 Crypto Regulation Bill Advances in US House, Faces Uncertain Future in the Senate
According to Cointelegraph: The US House of Representatives has voted in favor of the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21), aimed at clarifying the rules of securities and commodities regulators in overseeing cryptocurrencies. The next step for the bill is a potentially challenging path through the US Senate, where it has neither a companion bill nor a set timeline for action.
The FIT21 bill, which saw 71 Democrats and 208 Republicans vote in favor, could face robust opposition in the Senate, considering the presence of prominent crypto critics like Senator Elizabeth Warren. Post the Senate Review, if approved, the bill would proceed to President Biden's desk. The President on May 22 expressed his administration's disapproval of the bill, though it didn't specify his vetoing intention.
While Coinbase CEO, Brian Armstrong, celebrated this development as a "total victory", crypto-focused lawyer Gabriel Shapiro countered by arguing that the FIT21 could still grant the SEC "considerable power". The bill, if passed, will primarily place the control of cryptocurrencies under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), viewed as a more lax regulator than the SEC.
