US House To Markup Crypto Bills

The US House Financial Services Committee to markup H.R. 4763, the “Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act”, H.R. 1747, the “Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act” and H.R. 2969, the “Financial Technology Protection Act of 2023.”

The bills define when a crypto is a security or a commodity, establish a regime for stablecoins regulation, and clarity over US SEC and CFTC jurisdiction and oversight. It will follow a full vote by the House of Representatives and forward to the Democrats-led Senate for approval of a regulatory framework for crypto in the US.

This will be another milestone for the crypto industry after Ripple’s partial win against the US SEC. Kristin Smith, CEO of the Blockchain Association, said:

“Obviously we’ve had some important decisions come from the courts in the past, but this is by far the most significant legislative moment that we’ve had.”

Pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton asserts Republicans and Democrats must recognize crypto regulations to actually protect customers, users, and holders of digital assets. The SEC and CFTC need to focus on fraud, manipulation, pump and dumps, etc. rather than regulating by enforcement.

CoinGape Media reported a revised crypto bill introduced by US House Republicans to regulate digital assets, protect consumers, foster innovation, and position the US as a global leader in finance and technology. It highlights changes made to the previous crypto bills by Democrats and Republicans.
