During a Senate Banking Committee hearing, bipartisan senators raised concerns regarding the proposed CLARITY Act for crypto regulation. Senator John Kennedy compared allowing the crypto industry to self-regulate to a “urine sample,” highlighting the potential risks involved.
Many Senate Democrats caution that the CLARITY Act could create loopholes that jeopardize the economy. They worry about traditional financial institutions potentially evading SEC oversight through tokenization, as discussed by Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Calls for banning cryptocurrency activities for the president while in office are divided along party lines. Some Democrats assert that allowing Trump to engage in crypto transactions creates market corruption, undermining investor trust.
