Crypto Insider Reveals Defeat of Anti-Crypto Agenda in US
A former Chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) suggests that Senator Elizabeth Warren’s anti-crypto stance is losing ground.
Shifting Legislative Climate
- In a recent interview with Forbes, former CFTC Chairman Christopher Giancarlo expressed optimism about the future of digital assets.

- Notably, the White House could veto this move, potentially with the backing of traditional banks.
Moving Towards FIT21

- Noting the CFTC’s success in regulating non-wholesale markets, he sees potential in overseeing the retail crypto marketplace.
