A new US Senate bill's approach to DeFi regulation has been slammed by crypto think tank coincenter and Blockchain Association CEO KMSmithDC.
Crypto industry advocacy bodies have slammed a newly proposed United States Senate bill for what they say is a confused approach to regulating the decentralized finance sector.
On July 20, crypto think tank Coin Center and crypto advocacy group the Blockchain Association released separate statements describing the legislation as a “messy,""unworkable," and"unconstitutional” way of regulating DeFi.bill aims to reign in money launderingIf passed, the legislation would extend new penalties to anyone who “controls” or “makes available an application designed to facilitate transactions using a digital asset protocol.
The definition of who or what “controls” a DeFi protocol was left to be made by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury — a move some pundits say will lead to excessive controls being applied to DeFi., Coin Center wrote the bill gives “virtually unbounded discretion to the Secretary to decide what it would take to designate one as having ‘control’ of a protocol.”
Additionally, the think tank declared the bill to be unconstitutional as it would crack down on software developers who — as an extension of free speech — have a First Amendment right to publish code.
