What does this letter mean for crypto?

Congress has planned two hearings on the FTX implosion and its impact. This might happen around next week. Meanwhile, Warren’s letter hints at the increasing concern about the integration of traditional financial markets and the crypto market.

However, Warren is one of the biggest vocal critics of the digital asset market. She has issued multiple warnings against the crypto market in the past. She mentioned that the FTX collapse has uncovered the close links between banks and Shady crypto firms.

The Crypto market cap has dropped under the crucial $1 trillion mark after the horrible FTX crash. It now stands at $840 billion.
