Ether is a commodity, CFTC chair Behnam tells the House.
If there were ever such a thing as an all-star lineup of regulators, the United States House of Representatives Agricultural Committee’s June 6 hearing on digital asset regulation would probablythe record. The current chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission Rostin Behnam was joined by a former chair and a former acting chair of that agency, as well as a former commissioner. Coinbase chief legal officer Paul Grewal also appeared.
“It is our hope that we will have a bipartisan, joint committee legislative proposal,” Thompson said of the Republicans’ bill in his opening remarks. The bill should not impact existing law, Behnam told the committee, and it does not shift existing authorities. Rather it covers gaps, especially the spot market for digital assets that are not securities. That gap leads to “Joe Shmo at a vape shop selling cryptocurrency,” as committee member Rick Crawford described in his hometown. Meanwhile, bankers are avoiding the emerging asset class while it remains unregulated.
