The U.S. House Financial Services Committee is preparing for a series of cryptocurrency hearings scheduled for September 2024. The agenda will cover various topics including decentralized finance (DeFi), fraudulent schemes known as 'pig butchering,' and enforcement actions by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The hearings are set to commence on September 10 with a detailed examination of DeFi, followed by two sessions on September 18 focusing on SEC enforcement practices. The questioning of SEC Chair Gary Gensler is anticipated to attract significant attention during these hearings.
