Jointly supported by the Committee and many members of the House Financial Services Committee, the FIT Act will create a joint mandate for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to oversee digital assets, protect consumers and investors, foster innovation, and position America as a leader in finance and technology.
The bill comes at a time when there is a lack of regulatory clarity and certainty for the crypto industry in the US.
According to supporters of the bill, the FIT Act will close existing jurisdiction gaps, ensure US leadership in digital asset innovation, and prevent future scams like FTX from happening.
The bill is expected to be discussed in the House of Representatives Financial Services and Agriculture Committees next week.
