El Senado de EEUU bloquea la nueva ley de criptomonedas y las deja en el limbo
Los demócratas abortan el marco regulatorio integral para activos cripto diseñado por los republicanos al no incorporar mayores limitaciones a altos cargos de la Administración. Leer
The US Senate has blocked a comprehensive cryptocurrency regulation bill designed by Republicans due to Democrats' refusal to support a measure that does not limit trading by high-ranking administration officials, including President Donald Trump. The bill, known as the Clarity Act, received 49 votes in favor and 50 against, failing to secure the necessary support.
This setback poses a significant challenge for major crypto assets, such as Bitcoin, which saw a 3.3% drop, falling from $78,000 to $75,700 during the session. The legislation aimed to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework, dividing crypto oversight responsibilities between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC); setting rules for intermediaries like exchanges, brokers, and custodians, and establishing transparency and consumer protection standards.
Senators Elizabeth Warren, a leading Democratic voice in the Banking Committee, and Mark Warner from Virginia emphasized the need for comprehensive crypto regulation, warning against approving a bill that could allow President Trump to continue profiting from crypto gains while everyday Americans struggle with higher prices and a deteriorating economy.
