To protect consumers and investors, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Wednesday. cryptocurrency He said he supports regulatory oversight over the United States and will work with Congress to pass additional laws.
In an interview with CNBC, Yellen said that additional crypto regulation would be appropriate given the risks and challenges posed by this rapidly evolving industry.
“We have identified a number of risks associated with crypto,” Yellen said. I support these institutions (SEC) to use the tools they have,” he said.
“I see some loopholes in the system where additional adjustments would be appropriate. We want to work with Congress to pass additional regulations.”
Yellen’s comments came amid a crackdown on crypto exchanges by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which has recently sued Binance and Coinbase for allegedly violating securities laws by offering unregistered products and services.
Yellen also reiterated that she sees a way to reduce inflation while maintaining a strong labor market, a top priority for the Biden administration.
“We are seeing some signs of easing in labor market pressures,” Yellen said.
“We will continue to see economic progress in reducing inflation over the next two years.”
Yellen said the Treasury continues to be able to pay all of America’s bills, thanks to the latest agreement to suspend the debt limit until December 2023.
