Bipartisan support for crypto is ‘fragile’ — Congressman John Curtis
71 Democrats joined their Republican colleagues in a rare bipartisan effort to repeal the SEC’s SAB-121 guidelines earlier this year.
Congressman John Curtis — a United States representative for the state of Utah — took the stage at Permissionless III with Utah Senator Mike Lee to discuss the future of digital asset policy in the country.
When asked if the bipartisan cooperation on the repeal of Staff Accounting Bulletin-121 (SAB-121) — which made it incredibly restrictive for banks to custody crypto — was making a comeback, the Congressman responded “I think so, but it’s very fragile.” The Congressman continued:
“So, I think it’s important to find connection points with Democrats” to reach a consensus on regulatory policy, Curtis concluded, before noting that fellow lawmakers had trouble understanding the complexity of cryptocurrencies.
