The sharp growth of our industry in 2021 has prompted an unprecedented surge of policy and regulatory activity on Capitol Hill, as legislators scramble to keep pace with a not-so-nascent asset class currently valued at over $2T in total market cap. Ongoing developments related to the US Crypto Bill dealing with security/commodity characterization, stablecoin and CBDC regulation, and added banking transparency, along with the U.S. Senate’s failure to adopt a bipartisan compromise on a crypto tax provision in its $1 trillion infrastructure bill, have dominated news headlines and elicited pushback from industry players and crypto enthusiasts alike.
