Undang-undang yang baru diajukan di Kongres berusaha untuk mendorong Komisi Perdagangan Berjangka Komoditas (CFTC) untuk membuat laporan guna memberikan lebih banyak kejelasan ke pasar aset digital.
Rep Darren Soto (D-FL) memperkenalkan dua RUU kemarin, disponsori bersama oleh Reps Ted Budd (R-NC), Ro Khanna (D-CA) dan Warren Davidson (R-OH). Co-sponsor adalah semua anggota Blockchain Caucus, koalisi anggota parlemen yang berfokus pada masalah aset digital.
Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) also co-sponsored the first of the two pieces, the so-called U.S. Virtual Currency Market and Regulatory Competitiveness Act of 2021. It directs the CFTC to produce a study comparing the regulation of virtual currencies around the world, and eventually make recommendations to how regulatory structures in the U.S. can promote competition and innovation in the digital asset space.
Grafik Virtual Currency Consumer Protection Act of 2021 directs the CFTC to produce a report specifically on price manipulation in virtual asset markets and include recommendations for regulation that could mitigate any found issues.
This isn’t the first time Congress has seen of the two bills. The bills have been introduced in the past two Congressional sessions and have “had success through the appropriations process,” according to Soto’s pengumuman. The dialogue surrounding these bills brought about LABCFTC funding and a CFTC report on its role related to virtual currencies.
The CFTC does appear to be gearing up to take a look at its dealings with digital assets. Commissioner Dawn Stump released an Aug. 23 pernyataan detailing the CFTC’s role in regulating digital assets in an effort to dispel misunderstandings about the agency’s powers.
Sementara itu, Ketua Komisi Sekuritas dan Bursa Gary Gensler telah vokal tentang perlunya pengawasan SEC di pasar crypto, mengidentifikasi beberapa pertukaran crypto sebagai pertukaran sekuritas.
