<h3 id="us-slow-race-to-regulate-digital-assets">US’ Slow Race to Regulate Digital Assets</h3> 
<p>The United States has been seeking to regulate digital assets while cracking down on cryptocurrency-related crime for many years. Despite these efforts, both national and international, both the watchdogs and the legislators have been accused of draging their feet when it comes to the industry thus harming both innovation and investors in the country.</p> 
<p>The Securities and Exchange Commission has been criticized by digital assets companies for acting in a very aggressive manner toward the industry while failing to offer any proper regulatory guidance to firm with a commitment to remaining compliant. The White House, on the other hand, has <a href="https://tokenist.com/white-house-commends-regulators-crypto-efforts-asks-congress-to-do-more/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">spoken positively about regulators’ efforts</a> but rebuked Congress for its tardiness in passing relevant laws.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>While some attempts to create a legal framework for digital assets at the federal level—like this Thursday’s bill—have been made, individual states are the ones taking the lead so far. Numerous states have passed laws protecting the rights of cryptocurrency miners in 2023 alone the <a href="https://tokenist.com/arkansas-joins-multi-state-drive-to-protect-btc-miners-with-a-new-bill/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">latest one being Arkansas</a>. On the other hand, some states like Texas have taken the opposite approach and are seeking <a href="https://tlcsenate.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=53&amp;clip_id=17648" target="_blank" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">to diminish protections offered to such operations</a>.</p>
