The failure of crypto exchange FTX and a midterm U.S. election that saw the more regulation-friendly Democratic Party overperform expectations could spell trouble for a digital-asset industry that was hoping for a more hospitable atmosphere in Washington D.C., experts say.
Katz added that the speed of Bankman-Fried’s downfall will cause many lawmakers to wonder “is there anything about crypto that is as it seems?” Industry representatives remain confident, however, that the FTX debacle won’t freeze legislative attempts to create a more tailored regulatory environment for the digital assets industry while protecting investors, maintaining financial stability and guarding against illicit financial activity.
Kevin Werbach, director of the Wharton School’s Blockchain and Digital Asset Project, said in an interview that the incident could also encourage regulators to pay closer attention to foreign crypto exchanges that have separate U.S. operations, or claim to service no U.S. customers, so to avoid complying with more stringent U.S. regulations.
The events also bring greater focus to the world of decentralized finance, or DeFi, where users interface with algorithms that enable them to deposit their digital assets and earn returns, borrow or loan money and even buy and sell derivatives of blue-chip equities like Apple AAPL and Tesla TSLA .
Why would any self respecting Republican favor Ponzi schemes any more than a Democrat?
Pretty sure the “spelling of trouble” has already happened for the digital asset industry.
