Here is the best breakdown on FIT21 that I’ve read so far: https://www.davispolk.com/insights/client-update/crypto-market-structure-bill-draws-closer-floor-vote-house

I’m still looking for an in-depth analysis of this bill (which still has to go through the Senate) but in the meantime here is my cynical take on it:

I hear you, this is my first take based on a cursory reading of the bill. I must say I was skeptical before looking into it but I was surprised to see that the bill seems to insulate DeFi/devs/miners/self-custody from TradeFi regulations which is really the opposite of what the Warren anti-crypto army wanted (by considering everybody a broker).

Also, I saw that Aaron Day is saying it is a bad bill because it would enable CBDC but I’m still waiting for a more detailed analysis from him. Regardless of this bill, I’m not sure we can stop a CBDC launch so we may as well protect what makes crypto crypto then we’ll have a fair competition against CBDC.

Thanks man. I’ve been lurking the forum for a while.
