A new government led by Trump will take charge in America early next year. The agenda of this government may also include making laws for crypto. However, there is no possibility of imposing strict regulations for this segment. Recently, Jay Clayton, former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the US, said that the new government can make laws to control cryptocurrencies. He said that he is in favor of reducing the regulatory burden which will encourage listing of companies. Clayton said, “I believe that legislation will be made for crypto. If you can deal with some of the problems at the executive or administrative level then it becomes easier to make legislation for crypto.”
Under the government of current President Joe Biden, regulators had demanded strict enforcement action against crypto-related firms. However, these regulators ignored the industry’s demand for regulations. However, in the past Trump had also called cryptocurrencies a scam. However, after contesting the elections again for the post of President, he started supporting digital assets. He also promised to make America the crypto capital of the world. Trump had also hinted at not making strict regulations for this segment and creating a reserve of Bitcoin. There are a large number of people investing in the crypto market in America. These investors may also contribute to Trump’s victory.
