Loomis, an advocate for pro-cryptocurrency legislation, stressed the importance of educating lawmakers about digital assets. She shared on May 29: “When I came to the United States Senate, no one knew anything about digital assets, no one knew the difference between Bitcoin (BTC) and other alternative coins. So we worked hard to educate members of the Senate.”
In addition to working with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and others to establish the Financial Innovation Advisory Council and a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, Loomis highlighted Bitcoin’s growing role as a store of value and means of transaction, driven by global adoption and inflation concerns. She also noted the growing interest in Ethereum and its potential to support numerous applications.
Important Developments in U.S. Cryptocurrency Regulation
The U.S. cryptocurrency market has made significant progress. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved spot Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), while bills supporting cryptocurrencies have made progress, indicating a favorable regulatory environment. The House of Representatives passed the 21st Century Financial Innovation and Technology Act (FIT21) with bipartisan support.
Additionally, the Senate voted to overturn Gary Gensler’s Financial Accounting Bulletin No. 121 (SAB 121), paving the way for banks to become cryptocurrency custodians. As the U.S. presidential election approaches, the narrative around cryptocurrencies continues to develop, with optimism running high about the further integration of digital assets into the economy.
Senator Loomis’ work to advance cryptocurrency legislation demonstrates a promising path forward that emphasizes education and regulatory clarity. Her efforts, along with recent legislative successes, bode well for a future where cryptocurrency plays a significant role in the U.S. economy.
