As a researcher, I’m following the developments regarding the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21). This legislation is set to be discussed by the House Committee on Rules, marking the beginning of the expected floor vote this month. The primary objective of FIT21 is to bring clarity to cryptocurrency regulations. By doing so, it intends to minimize the uncertainty that stifles innovation and jeopardizes consumer protection.
The FIT21 Act was collaboratively produced by the House Financial Services and Agriculture Committees through bipartisan cooperation, aiming to provide clarity on the jurisdictions of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). Specifically, CFTC will be responsible for overseeing crypto commodities, while the SEC’s authority extends to cryptos that are treated as investment contracts, involve consumer protection, or require market regulation.
McHenry, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, expressed that the objective of the act is to eliminate regulatory ambiguity, which can stifle fintech expansion and potentially endanger consumers. In contrast, Thompson, the chairman of the Agriculture Committee, stated that FIT21’s goal is to safeguard the public and strengthen the US position as a leader in digital finance.
Dusty Johnson, a Congressman, underscored the importance of having clear-cut regulations in the realm of digital finance for America to maintain its leading position. He warned that ambiguous guidelines might impede advancements in this sector.
