Do you want the good news or the bad news? CynthiaMLummis is ramping up a crypto bill, but it might not include everything you want.
United States Senator Cynthia Lummis appeared on a livestream hosted by Axios on Tuesday to tease the highly awaited bill on cryptocurrency she is authoring. The Wyoming Republican said the bill will be introduced as “one big piece so people can see the big picture” and be broken down into five or six components for consideration by the appropriate congressional committees.
The bill, which Lummis is expected to introduce along with New York Democrat Kristin Gillibrand, is designed “so that it works within the traditional framework for managing and regulating traditional assets,” Lummis said. It will divide cryptocurrency oversight between the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission .
Regulations must also address altcoins and consumer confidence, Lummis said, adding they need to"allow regulators to separate the wheat from the chaff in the space." This will make it possible to use crypto for payments and integrate the asset class into 401 retirement savings packages, she said. The Wyoming senator indicated she was confident the bill would pass, as “digital assets are nonpartisan.” She expressed hope it would move more quickly through the legislative process than might be expected for such a complex bill because agencies currently have to “make regulatory decisions on the fly.”“dovetailed pretty nicely” with the bill’s proposals, Lummis said, although the bill differs from the president’s regulatory vision in that it would allow non-bank entities to issue stablecoins.
