Industry experts and pundits took to social media platforms, posting updates from the hearing which saw CFTC Chair Christopher Giancarlo and SEC Chair Jay Clayton make some highly influential statements about the current stance towards the overall cryptocurrency and Blockchain space.
....
But both bodies unveiled balanced and positive sentiments towards cryptocurrencies and Blockchain technology.
Giancarlo delivered an upbeat address saying “if there was no Bitcoin, there would be no distributed ledger technology,” when he was asked about the value of Bitcoin.
He also made it clear in his written testimony that cryptocurrencies are here to say and that regulation needs to nurture the sector while protecting investors.
“Virtual currencies mark a paradigm shift in how we think about payments, traditional financial processes, and engaging in economic activity. Ignoring these developments will not make them go away, nor is it a responsible regulatory response. The evolution of these assets, their volatility, and the interest they attract from a rising global millennial population demand serious examination.”
Clayton echoed the sentiments of the CFTC chair, but he also produced a discourse that gave credit to the cryptocurrency industry for adding a new paradigm to the financial system:
“Distributed ledger and other emerging technologies have the potential to further influence and improve the capital markets and the financial services industry.”
....
Clayton also hammered home the importance of fair regulatory frameworks that will create an environment that benefits all parties involved.
“Said simply, we should embrace the pursuit of technological advancement, as well as new and innovative techniques for capital raising, but not at the expense of the principles undermining our well-founded and proven approach to protecting investors and markets.”
