Sheila Warren delves into the political dynamics and regulatory shifts driving the recent regulatory change of heart around crypto.

Sheila Warren, CEO of the Crypto Council for Innovation, joins Unchained to explore the dramatic shift by Democrats in the last few weeks on crypto. She explains why she believes the overturning of SAB 121 and the House vote for the FIT21 bill were both instrumental to the White House's changing view on crypto and may have played a role in the SEC’s surprising approval of spot ETH ETFs.
Having worked for years on passing crypto legislation and as a lifelong Democrat, Sheila describes what kinds of arguments were persuasive to Democratic members of Congress, addresses some criticisms of the FIT21 bill, and gives her perspective on the debate about single-issue voters.
Show highlights:
The overall attitude toward crypto in Washington going into the House vote on SAB 121 on May 8
The bipartisan votes in the House and Senate to overturn SAB 121
Why, by the time of the Senate vote on FIT21, the White House had had a change of heart about crypto
Why, after the Senate vote to repeal SAB 121, the SEC approved the spot ETH ETFs
Why Sheila is so proud of the passage in the House of the FIT21 bill
How Sheila and CCI approached their discussions with Democrats and what arguments they found effective
Whether the industry has survived the negative image of SBF and FTX
The sea change in the White House between the SAB 121 vote and the FIT21 vote
A high-level description of the FIT21 bill
What kind of authority the bill would give the CFTC over crypto
What the implications of the bill are for launching tokens
FIT21’s approach to regulating DeFi and how the FIT21 bill is "kicking the can" on this topic
The overall political and legislation landscape and the next likely steps for crypto
Whether the ETF approval changes anything about the SEC’s investigation into Ethereum
What Sheila thinks about the 'crypto single-issue voter’ debate

May 24, 2024UNCHAINED: Senator Cynthia Lummis on Why Crypto Now Has Bipartisan Support in Congress
Are we ushering in a new era of crypto legislation? U.S. Senator from Wyoming Cynthia Lummis definitely thinks so.

Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Castbox, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.
With crypto becoming more politicized than ever, U.S. Senator from Wyoming Cynthia Lummis came on Unchained to talk about the recent regulatory action in Washington, D.C.
She delves into what led to bipartisan support to repeal SAB 121, and how the strength of the vote there in both the House and Senate may have affected the about-face decision to approve spot ether ETFs. Sen. Lummis also explains why she disagrees with how Gary Gensler’s SEC is handling the industry, how to avoid the next TerraUSD, why she feels Wyoming-chartered Custodia Bank is not being treated fairly, the ban on a Chinese-owned, Wyoming-based Bitcoin mining firm, and what advice she would give to the crypto industry during this election year.
Show highlights:
Why the SAB 121 approval was bipartisan
Whether President Biden will veto the resolution
How it's a "mystery" to Sen. Lummis why the SEC had a change of heart about Ether ETFs
How the SEC's approach to regulating the industry "is not the American way"
Whether there is a bipartisan majority in favor of crypto in Congress
How bitcoin has come a long way in terms of adoption
Sen. Lummis' thoughts on how to regulate the stablecoin industry and avoid a Terra Luna situation
The differences between the Lummis-Gillibrand bill and FIT21
How Sen. Lummis feels about the denial of a master account for Custodia Bank
Whether there's a move against Bitcoin mining companies in the US, given the recent ban of an operation in Wyoming
What Sen. Lummis would advise for the industry to accomplish its goals
