Between the CFTC, the SEC, the Treasury Department and Elizabeth Warren, there are a lot of cooks in the U.S. regulatory kitchen.
This episode is sponsored by NYDIG.
On this week’s “Breakdown Weekly Recap,” NLW looks at some reported emerging tension around which U.S. regulatory body holds authority over crypto.
The U.S. Treasury has revealed its heavy hand in the infrastructure bill process, and it isn’t the first Treasury Department to have a problem with crypto. SEC Chair Gary Gensler is asking Sen. Elizabeth Warren for more authority for his organization. Meanwhile, the CFTC is publicly saying regulatory authority lies with it, not the SEC.
“The Breakdown” is written, produced by and features NLW, with editing by Rob Mitchell and additional production support by Eleanor Pahl. Adam B. Levine is our executive producer and our theme music is “Countdown” by Neon Beach. The music you heard today behind our sponsor is “Tidal Wave” by BRASKO.
