Senator Elizabeth Warren urges tougher crypto regulation to prevent corruption and economic instability, pushing for market structure reforms and trading limits for elected officials.
Elizabeth Warren Wants Crypto Rules Tightened Before It’s Too Late
Senator Elizabeth Warren is doubling down on her demand for tougher cryptocurrency regulation—arguing that without it, the U.S. economy could face serious risks. Speaking on MSNBC, she warned that the current patchwork of rules leaves too much room for corruption and instability.
Elizabeth Warren Crypto Regulation Push Targets Loopholes
Warren says her fight isn’t just about stopping harmful bills it’s about building stronger laws from the ground up. She pointed to gaps in market structure regulations and stressed the need for “guardrails” to ensure crypto doesn’t spark a financial crisis.
One hot-button issue for her? The lack of restrictions on elected officials trading crypto. “We need regulation that limits corruption in the ability of elected officials to trade in it,” she said, noting how personal interests could influence policymaking without proper safeguards.
Interestingly, not everyone in crypto is dismissing her stance. Justin Slaughter, VP of Regulatory Affairs at Paradigm, tweeted that while they may not agree on everything, Warren’s focus on constructive regulation could be a step forward compared to outright hostility.
With crypto’s influence on both Wall Street and Washington growing, Warren’s call for independent oversight free from industry sway aims to keep markets fair, safe, and corruption-free.
