This week, the Ag Committee passed the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act. This bill addresses regulatory gaps and ensures that consumers are protected in the digital asset markets. I look forward to our continued dialogue on these issues. pic.twitter.com/lqGlNIoLl5

🧵 Statement on Bipartisan March 16, 2022 Letter to SEC Rep Soto believes a federal investigation into FTX is more than warranted due to alleged misappropriation. Soto condemns theft of consumer money by any industry, including cryptocurrencies. The SEC should act. pic.twitter.com/RP8TY67Mvb

The focus of the bipartisan March 16, 2022 letter was on the cryptocurrency industry as a whole. It was approved by Financial Services Committee Oversight legal staff. The letter sought clarity on SEC positions regarding its document request authority for crypto firms in general.

Clarity was needed since there is some debate whether agency jurisdiction over cryptocurrency has been fully established by law. The letter was well within Congress’ oversight duties.

Rep Soto was one of the first voices in Congress to call for greater regulation of cryptocurrency to protect consumers. He filed & co-introduced Digital Taxonomy Act & Token Taxonomy Act in 2018. He passed parts of DTA out of the House this term to advance these efforts.
