  • Fed Governor Waller said he does not want banks to hold large amounts of crypto ETFs. This shows hesitation from some officials about crypto adoption.
  • Fed Chairman Powell has called on Congress to develop legislation around stablecoins as their use increases.
  • With the 2024 election approaching, both parties will likely propose more ideas on crypto regulation. The debate continues on integrating crypto into traditional finance.

The cryptocurrency sector has exploded in popularity in recent years. As digital assets become more mainstream, they have also become an important political issue. With a major election coming up in 2024, officials are starting to make their stances clear on how cryptocurrencies should be regulated.

Federal Reserve Against Bank Crypto ETF Holdings

Speaking at a conference in the Bahamas, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said he does not want banks to hold large amounts of cryptocurrency ETFs. This comes after the SEC approved several spot Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year. Waller’s comments show there is still hesitation from some top officials about mainstream adoption of crypto.

Calls for Stablecoin Legislation

Meanwhile, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has urged Congress to develop legislative frameworks around stablecoins. Stablecoins aim to maintain a steady value, often being pegged to fiat currencies. Powell’s request highlights the need for clear regulation as adoption of digital assets increases.

Looking Ahead to More Crypto Debate

As we get closer to the 2024 election, both political parties will likely introduce more proposals on how to best regulate the growing crypto industry. This ongoing debate will help shape the future of digital currency in the United States. For now, it’s clear that some top officials are still wary of full integration between the traditional finance sector and crypto.
