The Democrats of the American House of Representatives have derailed what was supposed to be a joint audience on cryptographic policy efforts on Tuesday, insisting that the personal transactions of President Donald Trump were too urgent to allow other discussions on the establishment of industry regulations.
“I oppose this joint hearing due to the corruption of the President of the United States and his property of Crypto and his supervision of all agencies,” said Maxine Waters, the classification democrat of the Chamber’s Financial Services Committee, actually flying the collection of his official status.
Waters made an invitation to people to come and join the Democrats in another room “to discuss what we should discuss: Trump’s cryptographic corruption.
With raised voices speaking on each other at the start of the abandoned hearing, the Democrats insisted on their republican counterparts that the president’s digital assets – including his own same and his links with World Liberty Financial – were to be treated. The Republicans, having introduced a discussion project this week on the language proposed for a bill on the structure of the cryptographic market, were left to continue a discussion with the witnesses they had invited.
Thus, two non-tariffs progressed Tuesday morning in separate parts, illustrating the sharpening fracture between the parties this week on how to move forward on the supervision of the digital active sector.
“A joint audience was very, very necessary,” said a visibly frustrated representative French Hill, the republican president of the Chamber’s Financial Services Committee. “I understand that the classification member has concerns, but by opposing this hearing, the member of the classification undermines the possibility for these two committees to engage in a conversation of vital importance for the American people. It is a loss for our committee, the Chamber and the public as a whole.”
In what had technically become a “round table” in which the guests were participants, and not witnesses, the discussion focused on the Republicans continued, the former president of the Commodity Futures and Trading Commission Rostin Behnam arguing that the agency needs more authority and financing to occupy a leading role in the regulation of the crypto and the Coinbase Greg Tasar called the Structure of the market a “solid step” “towards Clarity for industry.
During the meeting in the democrats, Waters opened with another explosion in his opposition. “Since the republican majority refused to do their job, I organize the round table today to shed light on these critical issues before it is too late,” she said. And democrats were ready to discuss their own legislation: an effort to prohibit senior officials from participation in assets or cryptographic companies
Chasty Murphy, a former assistant to the representative Rashida Tlaib who worked on Stablecoin’s legislation and now a scholarship holder invited at the University of Manchester, has argued in the hearing democrats that legislators not prohibit legislators from occupying cryptographic assets or companies that engage in this type of legal business “occupied a public service”. In the case of Trump, not prohibiting its cryptographic activities also means letting it determine which regulations could be useful for its net profit.
Also on Tuesday, Senator Chris Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat, presented a bill to ban senior officials from supporting financial assets, notably Crypto.
