The House Committee on Rules plans to discuss the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21), signaling the start of the anticipated floor vote this month. The bill aims to clarify cryptocurrency regulations, reducing the uncertainty that limits innovation and puts consumer protection at risk. 
The FIT21 Act was crafted by both the House Financial Services and Agriculture Committees as a result of bipartisan efforts to clarify the roles of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC).CFTC will oversee crypto commodities, whereas authority to SEC will apply for cryptos offered as an investment contract, consumer protection, and market regulation. 
The Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee McHenry, <a href="https://financialservices.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=409251" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> that the act aims to eliminate regulatory uncertainty, which hinders fintech growth and poses risks to customers. Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture Glenn GT Thompson stated the purpose of FIT21 is to protect the public and promote the United States’ leadership in digital finance. 
Congressman Dusty Johnson emphasized that clear regulations are crucial for keeping the U.S. at the forefront of digital finance, noting that unclear rules could hinder progress.
