The tug of war to regulate the cryptocurrency market just got hotter in the United States. On Wednesday, Deborah Ann Stabenow, the Chairwoman of the Senate Agricultural Committee and a Democrat from Michigan, and Senator John Nichols Boozman, a Republican from Arkansas, proposed a bill to regulate cryptocurrencies in the U.S.

Under the proposed bill, the senators seek to make the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) the sole regulator of digital commodities, including ether (ETH) and bitcoin (BTC), in a highly volatile industry.

If passed, the bill would increase the operational purview of the CFTC, which has the expertise in regulating derivatives (swaps and futures).

It is worth mentioning here that multiple proposals by various committees have been put on the Senate table over the past few months.

In June, a crypto bill was proposed by Senator Cynthia Lummis, a Republican from Wyoming, and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat from New York. Through the bill, they laid emphasis on regulation and tax treatments of digital assets, along with the roles of the CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Further, in July, the House Financial Services Committee was seen framing a bill that sought to enhance the role of the Federal Reserve in the U.S. crypto market.

As of now, the proposed regulators for the crypto market include the CFTC, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Federal Reserve.

What Is Cryptocurrency and How Does It Work?

Concluding Remarks

A proper listing of digital commodity platforms, monitoring of trading activities, and disclosure of vital information would protect investors’ interests against any frauds and manipulations. Also, this would eventually help in easing out the volatility in the crypto markets.
