On Tuesday (June 7), Charles Hoskinson, Co-Founder and CEO of IO Global (aka “IOG”, formerly known as “IOHK”), the company responsible for Cardano’s research and development, explained why he is excited about the bipartisan crypto legislation introduced earlier this week by Senators Gillibrand and Lummis.
According to a press release issued on June 7, “U.S. Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, and Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), member of the Senate Banking Committee, introduced the Responsible Financial Innovation Act, landmark bipartisan legislation that will create a complete regulatory framework for digital assets that encourages responsible financial innovation, flexibility, transparency and robust consumer protections while integrating digital assets into existing law.”
Per a report by The Daily Hodl, in a video released on his YouTube channel on June 7, here is what Hoskinson had to say about the Gillibrand-Lummis crypto bill:
“Frankly this is a massive step forward. It’s an example of where Washington actually did listen to the industry. And engaged with people. And it didn’t bias it towards one crazy standard or another and a lobbyist hasn’t gotten hold of it and turned it into some toxic monster that only benefits one actor over another…
“My hope is over the next 12-24 months if we all work together we can finally get something passed and then it’s done. We actually have a foundation of regulation that’s not intrusive and allows us to innovate as an industry.“
