House Democrats are discussing a new crypto market structure bill that grants the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) a larger regulatory role. CryptoSlate reported that the proposals include a smaller role for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and stricter government ethics restrictions.
The legislative discussions follow the collapse of the CLARITY Act, with Democratic leadership aiming to implement stricter investor-rights proposals and centralized oversight. Increased SEC jurisdiction is generally viewed by the industry as a more stringent regulatory path compared to CFTC oversight.
