Crypto Industry News:
Former US presidential candidate Andrew Yang warns that the collapse of FTX will make officials want to create strict regulations for the cryptocurrency exchange market. In his opinion, this is not conducive to making the US a blockchain center.
Speaking at the Texas Blockchain Summit in Austin on November 18, Yang acknowledged that the bankruptcy of FTX and Alameda Research will likely make it harder to pass common-sense regulations for the cryptocurrency market.
"I've always been in the camp [that] some sensible regulation was a good thing. I think it would help the industry mature and become more mainstream," he said. "Because of [FTX's [collapse] and other issues, headlines and people who have suffered [as a result of FTX's bankruptcy], there will be an appetite for regulation that I think may miss the mark," he added.
Yang admitted that the path to clarity on digital asset regulations is more difficult due to the politicization of the US two-party system. Therefore, the collapse of FTX will only embolden the biggest opponents of cryptocurrencies to try to destroy this industry. The politician admitted that he is working with the Bipartisan Policy Center, a think tank based in Washington, to educate congressmen on blockchain technology.
