Quoted from coindesk.com · 2024-08-14

Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), who chairs the Senate Agriculture Committee, said her goal is to "provide the structure that both protects consumers but also allows this innovation to really flourish," referring to crypto commodities as something the Commodity Futures Trading Commission – long seen as a potentially friendlier regulator toward crypto than the Securities and Exchange Commission – should oversee.

Quoted from agriculture.senate.gov · 2024-07-10

We must have clear, common-sense rules of the road that allow good actors to innovate and grow. Blockchain technology can help us manage data and move money in more efficient and transparent ways, but those goals cannot be realized without comprehensive federal legislation. Our counterparts around the globe recognize this, and the U.S. must as well.

I support the action brought against Binance by the @TheJusticeDept, @CFTC & @USTreasury. We must continue to pursue crypto companies that defraud Americans & enable criminal activity, but enforcement is not enough. Congress must act to regulate this industry & protect consumers.

The recent collapse of a major cryptocurrency exchange reinforces the urgent need for greater federal oversight of this industry. Consumers continue to be harmed by the lack of transparency and accountability in this market. It is time for Congress to act.

The bottom line is my crypto regulation bill with @JohnBoozman, @SenBooker, & @SenJohnThune protects consumers and creates accountability in the marketplace.

Crypto markets aren’t fair or transparent - putting Americans’ money at risk. @JohnBoozman, @SenBooker, @SenJohnThune, and I are giving @CFTC what they need to protect consumers, prevent fraud and create transparency and accountability. stabenow.senate.gov/news/stabenow-…

As we continue to support Ukraine's government and its people in defending their democracy, we must close any loopholes that Russia might exploit to evade U.S. sanctions. This bill ensures that Russian nationals will not use digital assets to undermine sanctions.

We can't allow Putin & his cronies to hide their wealth & evade economic sanctions using cryptocurrency. My new bill w/@SenJackReed, @MarkWarner, @SenatorTester & colleagues would close this potential avenue for evasion & ensure Russia is held accountable. bostonglobe.com/2022/03/17/nat…
