Notable Opposer: Elizabeth Warren

One of the most outspoken critics of crypto is Elizabeth Warren, who recently stated that decentralized finance (DeFi) is the most dangerous part of the digital asset sector. She also highlighted the impact of a run on stablecoins on the average investor.

On October 24, Warren issued a letter to the heads of regulatory agencies “seeking information about the steps” the agencies are taking to stop the “revolving door” between the financial regulatory agencies and the crypto industry. 

“Americans should be confident that regulators are working on behalf of the public rather than auditioning for a high-paid lobbying job upon leaving government service,” Warren noted.

Coinbase Criticizes Warren’s Accusations

Coinbase criticized Warren’s letter, which implied that the exchange engaged in the “revolving door” strategy to impede the process of crypto asset regulation. The Chief Policy Officer at Coinbase, Faryar Shirzad, outrightly denied the accusations, calling it a “willful misinterpretation” of its objectives.

“Your accusations are not only unfounded but a willful misrepresentation of our intentions and efforts,” Shirzad stated.
