Hey to all, Liam here.
The swell of the new crypto rules comes into play is a lot of applause among supporters of the industry.
Clear guidelines for the stablescoins of the Act on Engineering as well as the structure of the market mean that large banks and institutions are more comfortable providing digital asset products to customers.
For investors, it’s great. It probably precedes even more investment.
At the same time, there is an increasing concern that there are not enough government staff to enforce all these new rules.
Alongside Pugnacious prices and his new obsession for the Crypto, US President Donald Trump and former Doge chief Elon Musk made the headlines earlier in the year to awkwardly reducing the big government gangs.
“If you are going to write legislation, adopt Genius Act, pass the structure of the market, you must make sure that there are regulatory agencies and the police which can apply the provisions of this legislation,” said Ari Redbord, the head of the TRM Labs policy on Wednesday.
The main personnel reductions have included the various agencies that would retrose fraud, scams and any other type of financial chican in the American capital markets.
In May, more than 2,000 staff members were dismissed through the Securities and Exchange Commission, the office of the Currency Controller and the Federal Deposit Corp.
For investors, it’s less big. Here is why.
“The disadvantage is the potential of endemic fraud and investors’ abuse,” Lee Reiners, a scholarship holder of Duke and the expert in financial regulation, told me. “Industry wants regulatory patina, but not significant regulation.”
This point was made clearer after Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, co-founders of the Crypto Exchange Gemini, urged Trump to remove his appointment from Brian Quintenz as a new CFTC chief, Politico reported in July.
The reason?
Part of Quintenz’s testimony to the Senate Committee for Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry within the framework of the appointment process was to increase the agency’s budget to extend its ability to regulate the cryptographic industry.
Remember that various bills regulating the structure of the cryptography market would place many tokens, coins and cryptocurrencies under the regulatory competence of the CFTC.
The initiates say that it is an easy argument for the so-called cryptographic whistleblowers.
“Usually, they highlight recent efforts like DOGE for this administration or the budget cuts for the appropriation of the congress as culprit,” said Ron Hammond, head of the crypto Wintermute policy. “It is an easier story to send me a message than to attack the regulation or action of the agency in question.”
