Washington, DC – Crypto Ventures of US President Donald Trump were again under the microscope during a hearing of the Chamber’s Financial Services Committee which otherwise saw legal experts express the way in which regulators could policeman digital assets under a bill on the structure of the market.
The Committee held an audience of the “minority day” – which means that witnesses were mainly chosen by the Democrats, the current minority party of the Chamber – allowing legislators on Friday, allowing the legislators to ask more targeted questions about the concerns they have with the law on the clarity of the digital asset market, the legislation on the structure of the market directed by the republicans who will receive next.
Maxine Waters, the committee’s classification democrat who demanded this parascolary audience after the fact that the panel met earlier in the week on the same subject, underlined Trump’s various crypto efforts in his opening declaration, saying that his goal was to prevent Trump from taking advantage of his cryptographic companies since he was.
“What I am opposed to this act … is the twisted president of the United States of America, who decided to use the office of the presidency to improve his access to profits,” said Waters.
The Republicans have focused on a different approach: “Currently, there is no federal framework for non -security digital assets,” said the president of the French Hill committee in his own opening declaration, a position reproduced by his colleagues Bryan Steil and Warren Davidson. They argue that the Democrats and the administration of former President Joe Biden have enabled the years to spend in which they did not protect consumers by offering no rule to supervise the crypto.
Crypto has led an ideological corner to the Democratic Party of Capitol Hill, with many Democrats – generally sneaking towards young members – supporting the legislation on digital assets despite the orientation of their leadership. Most of the Democrats participating in this audience on the Clarity Act were in the Crypto-critical camp, although the representative Jim Himes, a Connecticut Democrat, supported cryptographic bills in the past and questioned witnesses during the hearing on his concerns that the bill could include emotions that could allow financial companies to dodge surveillance.
Himes, a voting yes on the predecessor last year at the Clarity Act – Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century ACT, or Fit21 – has declared that some of the efforts of the effort can allow capture capture which can be abused by certain types of transmitters under the regulation of Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Clarity Act itself is more complicated than it should be and does not deal with some of the risk of cybersecurity posed to the cryptocurrency industry, said Carole House, a former White House advisor who is now a principal researcher at the Geoeconomic Center of the Atlantic Council. She highlighted recent crypto hacks, including the crypto exchange bordeau, for example.
Amanda Fischer, director of politicians In better markets, a Washington group advocating the financial policies that promote the public, said that its biggest problem concerned the exceptions that exist for companies to seek regulation under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission rather than the Securities and Exchange Commission, claiming that it could provide gaps for issuers or other Crypto companies
But as has been seen in other recent audiences, Trump’s cryptographic links have again reappeared as the star of the series.
Bart Naylor, politics expert at Public Citizen And a former investigator of the senatoric banking committee, said he thought that Trump specifically requests gifts through his same and sells favors thanks to actions like his same dinner or by taking prosecution against the companies that gave him money.
White House officials have regularly denied that Trump has a conflict of interest in pursuing the commercial gains of digital assets.
Waters had organized a disengagement last month from what was to be a joint hearing of this and of the Chamber’s Agriculture Committee on cryptography policy, although the initiates of the industry are not careful that all the Democrats of the Panel did not follow the departure of the waters.
