According to Hoskinson, for the sector to thrive, there is a need for a regulatory regime that puts into consideration the benefits of digital assets to the masses, he said during a videocast on October 13.
Crypto as financial operating system
Hoskinson added that with regulations, cryptocurrencies have the potential to become a financial operating system by catering to the needs of the masses, like solving the unbanked challenge. At the same time, Hoskinson pointed out that the United States is making the right steps regarding crypto regulation while projecting that a comprehensive law might come out next year. In particular, he pointed out that the White House Executive Order on crypto development might merge with other legislative proposals.
U.S. crypto regulation
Furthermore, he opined that a bi-partisan bill might also be passed in the U.S. It is worth pointing out that the U.S. Congress is currently reviewing several bills to guide the digital assets sector. Indeed, Hoskinson, who confirmed that he is working with people at the center of drafting regulation, noted both the U.S. legislative branch and the executive had shown goodwill to regulate the sector. As reported by Finbold, Hoskinson had earlier told the U.S. Congress that the crypto regulation debate could potentially be solved by a self-certification system while referencing the functioning of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
