Sen. Warren Warns Trump’s New Crypto Bill Could “Blow Up” U.S. Economy
U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren has escalated her criticism of proposed cryptocurrency legislation, warning that the CLARITY Act and related bills pose systemic risks to the financial system. The House of Representatives is currently advancing multiple crypto regulatory proposals during what industry observers call 'Crypto Week.'
The CLARITY Act's most controversial provision would allow public companies to transition their stocks onto blockchain networks, effectively removing them from SEC oversight. Warren argues this creates a dangerous loophole for corporations like Tesla or Meta to bypass securities regulations while raising capital.
This legislative push comes amid growing tension between crypto advocates and traditional regulators. The industry's lobbying efforts have drawn particular scrutiny, with Warren accusing groups of crafting weak regulations that prioritize innovation over financial stability.
