Warren Ready to Revise Crypto Bill After CLARITY Act Failure
Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren has expressed her willingness to work on a new cryptocurrency regulation bill after the failure of the CLARITY Act in the Senate.
The senator opposed the current version of the bill due to provisions related to ethics, national security, and investor protection. She believes that Congress needs a 'truly bipartisan' bill.
In a speech on September 15, Warren criticized certain aspects of the CLARITY Act, including the potential conflict of interest involving President Donald Trump. She argued that an ethical restriction that can be waived by the president is not effective.
Warren stated her support for passing federal legislation for cryptocurrencies and emphasized the need for meaningful regulation in the industry. She urged Republicans to return to the negotiating table and draft a bipartisan crypto bill.
