French Hill Backs Trump’s Pro Crypto Stance

Republican lawmaker, French Hill explained the type of crypto regulatory framework he feels Donald Trump might adopt in the country. In a recent CNBC interview, French Hill stated that the recently passed FIT21 bill is the type of regulatory framework the Trump administration will adopt in the sector. 

The FIT21 bill is tipped to protect investors and consumers in the market by stating clear rules and powers of different regulatory bodies in the sector. According to Hill, Trump will adopt it because it directs the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on the specific regulatory framework needed in the market. 

“… for people who are innovative and starting a token crypto, a related firm, custody of those assets, how to make sure consumers are protected, so that framework I think is the right approach and that’s what I will recommend for the President that he endorses, is we haven’t passed it between now and the end of this Congress.” 

Furthermore, he tipped Trump to be a pro-growth and innovative President on financial matters.
