The collapse of crypto exchange FTX and other bearish events in the space were at the center of discussions among lawmakers and witnesses at the inaugural hearing of the United States House Committee on Financial Services’ Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology and Inclusion.
Addressing lawmakers at the March 9 hearing, BitGo co-founder and CEO Mike Belshe criticized the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for enforcement actions against crypto firms “trying to do it right” — i.e. communicating with regulators and pursuing a path to operate in the country. He cited BitGo’s experience going through the process of approaching the SEC in 2018, seeking a regulatory path forward on the question of how the firm should custody assets, only to wait more than four years for a definitive answer.
