Tech trade group calls for regulatory clarity, claiming crypto job losses threaten US interests
The tech trade group Chamber of Progress called on members of the United States Senate and House of Representatives for regulatory clarity in the crypto space in an effort to prevent firms from leaving the country.
In a Wednesday letter addressed to eight committee chairs in the House and Senate, Chamber of Progress financial policy director Janay Eyo urged Congress to consider moving forward on “substantive legislation to ensure the future of our nation’s crypto industry,” citing concerns about jobs and the country’s position as a leader in global finance. According to the trade group, government leaders including those from the Securities and Exchange Commission, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Federal Reserve and Biden administration have called for Congress to lead in establishing a regulatory framework for digital assets.
