The US passed the first major national crypto legislation as Congress approved the Digital Asset Market Structure and Investor Protection Act. The legislation aims to provide regulatory clarity for cryptocurrencies, protect investors, and prevent market manipulation. The bill was supported by a bipartisan group of lawmakers who highlighted the importance of regulating the rapidly growing crypto market. Proponents believe that the new law will help attract more institutional investors and boost innovation in the digital asset space.
On the other hand, critics argue that the legislation could stifle innovation and drive crypto businesses away from the US due to excessive regulation. Some industry experts have raised concerns about the vague language used in the bill, suggesting that it could lead to confusion and hinder the development of new technologies. Despite the mixed reactions, the bill has been signed into law by President Biden, who emphasized the need to protect consumers and ensure the stability of the financial system in the digital age.
The new legislation represents a significant milestone in the regulation of cryptocurrencies in the US and sets the stage for further developments in this rapidly evolving industry.
