GOP Chair Address Crypto “Securities” Issue

Patrick McHenry, the House Financial Services Committee chair stated that the entire crypto market structure legislation accepts a key issue in the market i.e. digital assets being treated as securities.

Digital assets that are not inherently securities may be offered as part of an investment contract but that does not make them securities, said Patrick McHenry.

GOP chair mentioned that their bill linked to crypto assets focuses on two vital points i.e. decentralization and functionality in order to explain how Howey Test applies to digital assets. He added this will help the authorities ahead and this is also the “crux of the FIT of 21st Century Act.”
