Overturned Chevron deference likely won’t impact crypto regulation: Tom Emmer

Only a Donald Trump election victory and a mostly Republican Congress could make Chevron potentially impactful, says Representative Tom Emmer.

The crypto industry won’t benefit from an overturned legal doctrine that forced courts to use federal agency interpretations of ambiguous laws unless Congress passes legislation limiting what those agencies can regulate, says United States Representative Tom Emmer.

I don’t think Chevron deference changes a whole lot,” Emmer told Cointelegraph at the Permissionless conference in Utah on Oct. 9.

The Supreme Court overruled the Chevron doctrine in June — meaning that US courts no longer need to “defer” to federal agencies like the Securities and Exchange Commission when interpreting ambiguous statutes.

Digital Chamber urges US senators to support Lummis’ Bitcoin reserve bill

The crypto advocacy group says it is hand-delivering letters to every US Senator explaining why Bitcoin would help the US secure its position as a world leader.

The Digital Chamber, a prominent digital asset advocate in the United States, is calling on US lawmakers to vote in favor of the Bitcoin reserve bill recently introduced by Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis.

In an Aug. 1 post on X, the lobby group said it is hand-delivering a letter to “every US Senator,” which will explain that adding Bitcoin (BTC) to America’s balance sheet can secure its position as a “global leader” and provide more stability in the face of “global economic uncertainties.”

Lummis introduced the Boosting Innovation, Technology, and Competitiveness through Optimized Investment Nationwide Act of 2024 (or Bitcoin Act of 2024) on July 31. This bill would see the US Treasury set up Bitcoin vaults and buy 1 million Bitcoin over five years.

Regulatory uncertainty is holding back the $20 trillion dollar financial advisory industry from investing more in crypto, claims Bitwise investment head Matt Hougan.

The crypto space could be exposed to the trillions in the financial advisory industry once United States regulators clear up legal uncertainties, says crypto asset manager Bitwise’s investment head.

Regulatory uncertainty has been the main reason why financial advisors haven’t increased exposure to crypto over the last five years, Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan wrote in a June 4 post.

Hougan thinks the U.S. is finally moving toward regulatory clarity, which could open it up to the country’s $20 trillion financial advisory industry.
