Crypto industry gears up for FIT21

The US House of Representatives will hold a floor vote on the FIT21 Act next week after the measure was cleared by the House Committee on Financial Services last week.

The Crypto Council for Innovation took action on May 16 by signing a letter to House members on the need to support the bill. Nearly 60 crypto companies signed the letter to the US House of Reps, including top exchanges, such as Coinbase and Kraken, and venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z).

The letter, addressed to the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, and the minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, suggests that by passing the legislation, the US "can accelerate the growth of blockchain technology and digital assets, fostering financial inclusion and protecting national security."

The FIT21 Act contains significant consumer safeguards, including minimum capital standards, risk disclosure requirements, bankruptcy protection extensions, segregation of customer funds, and conflict of interest resolutions. It would also set the Commodities & Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as the leading regulator of digital assets, with only a few issues falling under the SEC's regulatory oversight.

The House verdict would prove instrumental to the progress of the crypto industry in the United States, especially following the recent vote by the Senate on May 16 to overturn the Securities & Exchange Commission's (SEC) SAB121 rule.
