Elizabeth Warren calls out crypto regulation

-

Senator Elizabeth Warren isn’t mincing words about crypto regulation these days.

She’s been on the warpath, warning that the current rules, shaped largely by the crypto industry itself, aren’t just weak, but in fact, they’re a disaster waiting to blow up our economy.

Worse yet? They’re fueling corruption, and yeah, she points a sharp finger right at President Trump’s crypto connections.

Consumer protection

Crypto markets have exploded, but so have the risks. Warren’s been vocal that yes, regulation is necessary, but don’t let the players in the game write the rules.

That’s like letting the fox guard the henhouse, she says.

She wants laws tough enough to keep corruption in check, especially the kind that lets elected officials trade crypto for personal gain.

Because, she argues, no one should get rich off their position, and crypto is a prime playground for that.

What happened? The industry-backed bills like the GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act passed, aiming to create clearer rules for stablecoins and crypto assets.

But Warren slams these as handouts to big corporations, soft rules that leave real consumer protections and anti-corruption measures out in the cold.

She’s especially concerned about stuff linked to Trump’s family ventures, from memecoins to stablecoins, which could corrupt policymaking instead of safeguarding the public.

Playground for criminals?

Warren’s not just worried about insider trading and conflicts of interest.

She points to threats from terrorists and drug traffickers exploiting crypto’s dark corners, demanding strong safeguards so the U.S. financial system doesn’t become a playground for criminals.

Warren is pushing for a crypto framework written by Congress, not the industry, a framework that closes loopholes, tightens disclosures for officials, and preserves investor protections.

She’s tackling challenges head-on, making sure stablecoins don’t fall into Big Tech’s hands.

Corruption

“We need strong crypto regulation – not an industry giveaway that puts our economy at risk and supercharges President Trump’s corruption.”

So, the crypto game’s transforming fast, but without real oversight, they say it’s still a land where power, money, and influence collide, sometimes too much in the wrong hands.

Warren’s fired up to change that, and the market’s watching.
