Lummis emphasized the need for a transparent crypto environment post-XRP verdict.
The Senator’s work is indicative of rising awareness among legislators.
On Twitter, Wyoming Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis emphasized the significance of the latest court judgment by Judge Analisa Torres that the Ripple-associated token XRP is not a security.
Senator Lummis tweeted on the verdict and its implications for crypto regulation, stressing their importance. According to her, this judgment shows that Congress must act quickly. In order to pass a sweeping crypto framework that puts consumer safety first. The Senator, a long-time crypto advocate, emphasized the need for a transparent crypto environment in supporting innovation and protecting investors.
The Senator stressed the need to protect Howey Test’s judicial precedent. She referred to the legislation she co-introduced with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, known as the Lummis-Gillibrand bill.
Investment and Growth Stifled
Moreover, the goal of this legislation is to standardize the way digital assets are regulated under the Howey Test as used by the Southern District of New York.
The senator’s request for action in the Senate is not without validity. The crypto sector as a whole is likely to be affected by the continuing legal dispute between Ripple Labs and the SEC. The case’s resolution may have far-reaching implications for the future of digital asset regulation in the United States.
Furthermore, the lack of consensus on how to regulate the nascent blockchain industry has stifled investment and new business creation. To what extent Senator Lummis’ request for statutory clarity in the crypto market will be met by Congress remains to be seen as the case develops. Her work, however, is indicative of a rising awareness among legislators. That the crypto economy needs innovative regulation in order to reach its full potential.
