The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21) last week, a significant bill aimed at regulating cryptocurrency assets. Despite opposition from President Joe Biden and SEC Chair Gary Gensler, the bill garnered strong political support for blockchain regulations. The momentum for crypto regulation, initially bolstered by President Trump, continues to grow. However, many believe the bill is flawed and hope the Senate will slow its progress.
