Although both parties are moving towards supporting cryptocurrency, the pace differs.Emmer mentioned that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and 70 other Democrats support overturning the SEC's SAB 121 crypto rule, indicating that the opposition from Senator Elizabeth Warren, SEC Chair Gary Gensler, and the White House towards cryptocurrency may be waning. Emmer repeatedly complained about Warren "making a lot of decisions in the White House."Regarding the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21), Emmer believes Schumer may introduce this bill in the Senate, which passed the House on May 22.
