The FIT21 bill, which has received bipartisan support and successfully passed the House of Representatives, is now encountering hurdles in the Senate. The legislation aims to define the regulatory roles of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regarding digital assets. Joe Biden's administration has raised concerns about potential regulatory gaps within the bill that could impact market stability. SEC Commissioner Hester Pierce commented on Congress' growing interest in cryptocurrency legislation, attributing it to dissatisfaction with the SEC's lack of clarity for crypto firms.
