Cardano Rumor Rundown July 28, 2023

Hey Everyone!

Let’s go….

Newly Covered Today:

1. Here's the Financial Innovation & Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21). This is probably as good a regime as we will see. Provisions will seem familiar if you’ve read similar previous bills. Crypto can easily live with this. https://docs.house.gov/meetings/BA/BA00/20230726/116291/BILLS-118HR4763ih.pdf
2. FIT21 traveled through two different committees in the House. https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong/status/1684417921244880896

4. Looks like the FIT 21 vote in the House Financial Services Committee was 35-15. The bipartisan support will be meaningful going forward. https://twitter.com/jchervinsky/status/1684368595323584512

57. Seems like recusal from crypto enforcement decisions could be a plausible result if people buy into the very logical assertions here. https://twitter.com/jchervinsky/status/1674464911714398229

68. Here’s the Pavia June Dev Update. https://twitter.com/Pavia_io/status/1676957233605918720

93. Now the Senate is getting around to sanctions control and AML in DeFi. Shocker…it’s very bad for DeFi with severe liability possibly imputed to broadly defined “backers” and “facilitators” of protocols. This won’t happen overnight.
