The fact that both Democratic and Republican representatives are joining forces on this issue suggests a broad consensus on the need for regulatory clarity in the cryptocurrency space.

The involvement of Representative Tom Emmer, a prominent figure in House leadership, signals that this issue is gaining prominence at the highest levels of government.

SEC has been delaying Spot Bitcoin ETF application approval for a long time. Last year, Grayscale’s CEO threatened to sue the regulators for being unfair. This year, too, the company filed a complaint to which the District of Columbia Court of Appeals in Washington ruled in favor of wrongly rejecting it without any reason. With the bipartisan call by House Financial Services Committee to Gary, maybe we can hope to see new changes?
