Litigation and court rulings are the fate of the US regulatory landscape for crypto if the SEC continues down their enforcement path in favor of rulemakings. It’s up to Congress to intervene

Clear from today's statements (floor, Gensler, trade unions) that opposition of #FIT21 is not about substance or merits of the bill. It's about creating rules for, and giving attention to, a disfavored industry. Blind faith in Gary Gensler is a bizarre hill to die on.
