Anne Fauvre, chief operating officer of data security firm Oasis Labs, said that the bill is too vague, fearing that it might end up covering entities that are neither brokers nor hold any personal information of their customers.

Fauvre told Cointelegraph that “Regulation should be seen as a way to create guardrails around industries” and that “This bill would stifle the next 20 years of innovation in the US as we know it.”

Adding to these regulatory concerns, Coinbase chief financial officer Alesia Haas nói với CNBC that U.S. regulators and lawmakers need to know that not every cryptocurrency is a security.
