Financial Policy Director Alexis Goldstein testified at the U.S. Congress’s Joint Economic Committee Hearing on “Demystifying Crypto: Digital Assets and the Role of Government.”

Goldstein testified in favor of Congress further examining the presence of regulatory gaps for ensuring consumer and investor protection in the cryptocurrency space.

Congress should ensure there are mechanisms available to regulators that provide a complete picture of systemic risk in the space. Regulators should continue to monitor digital asset markets and ensure compliance with existing regulations.
