US LAWMAKERS CALLS FOR REGULATORY CLARITY IN CRYPTO INDUSTRY

It can be recalled how the protracted legal tussle between SEC and Ripple ended last week with Ripple securing a favorable ruling regarding pragmatic sales and other distribution and

SEC securing a favorable ruling regarding institutional sales.
 
SEC still has the option to appeal the court's judgement in the future.
 
Sequel to SEC’s favorable ruling on institutional sales, several US lawmakers have called on Congress for regulatory clarity regarding the crypto industry.
 
In a statement, the lawmakers said that the ruling had given large institutional investors greater protections than everyday Americans, adding that the development was precipitated by regulators compelling courts to make policy instead of Congress.
 
They equally said that their comprehensive market structure legislation would give all investors, customers, and market participants the same longstanding protections found in traditional financial markets.
 
They urged to pass the Lummis-Gillibrand Responsible Financial Innovation Act, emphasizing the need for regulatory clarity.
 
The bill primarily aims to pass authority over crypto regulation from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to the Commodities Future Trading Commission (CFTC).
