Passage

The Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21) has run into challenges with its passage through Congress. It is still hailed as a bill that enjoys bipartisan support and has passed the House of Representatives, but analysts also believe that it will face difficulties on the way to the Senate that can lead to a postponement of the bill’s passing until after November.

The complexity of the proposed FIT21 was also highlighted at the 2024 Consensus event whereby people recommended more improvements if it is to be implemented properly. CFTC Commissioner Summer Mersinger expressed some concern with the long process of creating and implementing vast legislation. 
The Biden administration has also expressed concerns over possible risks the bill entails regarding regulatory loopholes that can harm market efficiency. The same sentiments were voiced by SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, who hence underlined the need for legislative clarity and openly voiced her discontent with some previous actions of the SEC in the cryptocurrency space. 
Amid continuing discussions on cryptocurrency regulation, the future of FIT21 remains unknown, as its path through the Senate remains unclear following demands for clearer norms as well as strengthened control.
