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.

House Republicans urge SEC to rescind ‘disastrous’ SAB 121

The House and Senate Republicans claimed the SEC evaded the notice and comment rulemaking process required by the Administrative Procedure Act by issuing SAB 121.

More than 40 United States Republicans have called on the US securities regulator to rescind its “disastrous” Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121 rule after a repeal bill received bipartisan support before being vetoed.

SAB 121 upends custody rules for cryptocurrencies, weakens consumer protections, and stifles financial innovation, House Financial Services Committee Chair Patrick McHenry, Senator Cynthia Lummis and 40 other politicians claimed in a Sept. 23 letter to the Gary Gensler-led Securities and Exchange Commission.

The 42 politicians further claimed that SAB 121 — a proposed rule mandating that SEC-reporting entities custodying cryptocurrencies must record those holdings as liabilities on their balance sheets — was issued without consulting any “prudent regulators” and that the accounting approach “deviates from established accounting standards.”
