‘Time is now’ for US to lead global crypto race, says CCI chief
With the White House’s latest digital assets report, CCI chief Ji Kim says the US is finally stepping up to claim its place at the front of the global crypto race.
A crypto lobby group claims that the US is back on track to lead the cryptocurrency industry after the White House’s latest crypto report called for the nation’s finance regulators to align on digital assets.
The report, released last week, marks a possible end to the long-standing turf war between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission over how to classify and regulate cryptocurrencies.
“We’ve had legal precedent — Bitcoin, Ether and many other digital assets are much more akin to commodities,” said Ji Hun Kim, newly appointed CEO of the advocacy group Crypto Council for Innovation, in an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph.
