Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) released their proposed bill to regulate the US crypto industry. The bill would require firms to segregate client assets and impose third-party custody requirements, create new advertising standards for marketing crypto, and require exchanges to show proof that they have enough assets to cover customer balances. The bill would also create a framework to give the CFTC more authority to oversee certain tokens, sanctions compliance, taxes, and stablecoin regulation. Sen. Lummis tweeted about some of the highlights of the bill.&#34;</p><h2 id="header-1">Rep. Torres Calls for Investigations into SEC&#39;s Cryptocurrency Exchange License</h2><p>Rep.
