U.S. Cryptocurrency Regulations
Having served in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2015, French Hill made noteworthy statements that included cryptocurrencies. As the new Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, Hill holds a crucial position regarding regulations.
Today’s announcements suggested a loosening of banking regulations. He promised to improve capital formation to allow more companies to conduct IPOs. By also focusing on the market structure of cryptocurrencies, he offered hope to those investors seeking regulatory clarity.
Despite being from Trump’s party, Hill expressed uncertainty regarding the concept of “BTC reserve creation.” While many politicians should find this idea “nonsense” based on previous statements from both parties, Hill’s ambivalence highlights how Trump has altered perceptions regarding cryptocurrencies.
