Senator Says America's $3 Trillion Crypto Market Needs Rules 'Yesterday'—Here's Why Investors Should Care

UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – U.S. lawmakers aim to clarify regulatory oversight through the Clarity Act and GENIUS Act to protect investors and promote market stability, with bipartisan support on key provisions.

  • Senator Cynthia Lummis stated yesterday that the U.S. urgently needs comprehensive market structure legislation for its $3 trillion crypto market to protect investors and enable growth.
  • This urgency stems from America falling behind nations like Europe and Singapore, causing costly legal battles and regulatory confusion that hinder innovation and drive capital overseas.
  • Legislative efforts include the House's Digital Asset Market Clarity Act introduced in May and the Senate's bipartisan Genius Act focused on stablecoins, while broader regulatory framework discussions continue in both chambers.
  • Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse urged prioritizing smart legislation based on principles protecting consumers, markets, and innovation, highlighting Ripple’s compliance-first approach with over 60 licenses globally.
  • The evolving regulatory landscape suggests that passing clear rules could reduce market volatility, expand investor access, and help the U.S. regain leadership in digital assets amid political divides and uncertainty.
