In a recent MSNBC interview, Senator Elizabeth Warren stated her belief that cryptocurrency needs to be regulated, but that the industry itself should not be writing those rules. She specifically called for new regulations to limit elected officials’ ability to trade cryptocurrencies.
Warren also voiced concerns about the potential for crypto to destabilize the economy, stating that current restrictions are too weak. She emphasized the need for “guardrails” to prevent such a scenario.
Despite her historically critical stance on cryptocurrency, Warren’s comments drew a positive reaction from Justin Slaughter of Paradigm. Slaughter noted that it was “good” to see Warren embrace the idea of regulation. He also pointed out that she did not criticize the recent stablecoin bill she voted against, but rather focused on what additional market structure legislation she wants to see enacted.
