Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., a longtime crypto-evangelist plans to introduce a crypto regulations bill in legislation by early 2022. Lummis means to give regulatory clarity on stablecoins and define the different asset classes, while introducing further protections to insulate investors against substantial losses, scams and potentially lax cybersecurity.
Lummis also reportedly plans to create an organization under the joint jurisdiction of the SEC and CFTC to oversee the market
