Florida Congressman Darren Soto, along with his colleagues called on Kamala Harris to take three major actions when it comes to crypto:
- Repealing and revamping the SAB 121 accounting guidelines, vetoed by the Biden Administration in July.
- Passing the FIT21 crypto bill and working with Congress to pass the final bill with clarity on crypto regulations.
- Recognizing the importance of crypto and the benefits associated with the remittance aspect of the same.

Statement on Bipartisan March 16, 2022 Letter to SEC
Rep Soto believes a federal investigation into FTX is more than warranted due to alleged misappropriation. Soto condemns theft of consumer money by any industry, including cryptocurrencies. The SEC should act. pic.twitter.com/RP8TY67Mvb

The focus of the bipartisan March 16, 2022 letter was on the cryptocurrency industry as a whole. It was approved by Financial Services Committee Oversight legal staff. The letter sought clarity on SEC positions regarding its document request authority for crypto firms in general.

Clarity was needed since there is some debate whether agency jurisdiction over cryptocurrency has been fully established by law. The letter was well within Congress’ oversight duties.

Rep Soto was one of the first voices in Congress to call for greater regulation of cryptocurrency to protect consumers. He filed & co-introduced Digital Taxonomy Act & Token Taxonomy Act in 2018. He passed parts of DTA out of the House this term to advance these efforts.
