The Responsible Financial Innovation Act introduced by Democrat senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Republican senator Cynthia Lummis is up for public opinion. After the crypto bill was introduced earlier this month, there were mixed reactions on whether it would benefit the space in the long run. In a latest, voices are rising in demand for a separate Bitcoin bill.
Industry’s Thoughts On Crypto Bill
The bill caused concerns on the possibility of a majority of altcoins coming under the SEC’s ambit. Meanwhile, the senators are calling for inputs from the community.
Senator Lummis had on Wednesday tweeted seeking constructive thoughts on the crypto legislation.
“The digital asset industry was built by individuals and will continue to be sustained by individuals. That is why Senator Gillibrand and I want input from the grassroots. If you have constructive thoughts on our legislation, make your voice heard on GitHub.”
Few of the responders so far sought to differentiate Bitcoin from the rest of the digital assets industry. In fact, one user felt Bitcoin should have a bill of its own.
