Senator Tim Scott sees democrats crossing the aisle on the structure of the cryptographic market

While the US Congress remains in recess until September, one of the senators leading to the accusation behind the legislation to establish a structure of the digital asset market said that it expected bipartite support.

Speaking Tuesday from the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium in Jackson Hole, the president of the Senatoric Banking Committee, Tim Scott, said that he expected some Democrats to join the Republicans to move forward on the law on the clarity of the digital assets market (Clarity) after the adoption of the national innovation law and (Genius) Act.

The South Carolina Senator said he had already made efforts to contact the Democrats outside the Banking Committee to “provide coverage” to vote for the bill.

“We had 18 democrats vote for the law on genius,” said Scott. “I believe that we will have between 12 and 18 democrats at least open to the vote for the structure of the market, much more complicated legislation, and the forces against (…) is a real force to overcome.”

Before the Chamber adopted the Clarity Act on July 17, Scott declared that the banking committee planned to pass its version of the structure of the digital asset market “before the end of September”.

A draft version of the Senate bill, published in July and provisionally entitled The Responsible Financial Innovation Act, “relies on” the Clarity Act, according to republican leaders, but can be different from the legislation of the Chamber.

Recently expectations for bipartisan support?

Republicans have a three -seat majority in the Senate, which makes it likely that they will need certain Democrats to adopt legislation for the structure of the cryptographic market. In addition to the remarks of Scott du Wyoming, senator Elizabeth Warren, a classification member of the banking committee, commented the law on clarity during the recreation of the congress.

“We need cryptographic regulation,” said Warren in an interview on August 10. “But we do not need written regulations by the cryptographic industry … We need regulation that limits corruption and the ability of elected officials to exchange, which also limits the ability to explode the economy with crypto.”
