Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Here’s why Coinbase and other companies soured on major crypto bill Original Link: https://cryptonews.net/news/legal/32295828/ U.S. lawmakers were about to begin a hearing on a major crypto bill that aimed to define how federal regulators, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), can oversee crypto markets. However, the night before the hearing was about to start, a major crypto exchange that has been deeply involved in the bill’s negotiations and has spent millions lobbying for it suddenly withdrew its support.

This sent the whole industry into chaos. Just hours later that same Wednesday evening, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee canceled the hearing on the crypto market structure bill — just over 12 hours before it was scheduled to kick off. Following the announcements, lawmakers relaunched talks on Friday, with Democrats and staffers holding a call with industry representatives.

However, the exchange was not alone in having issues with the bill.

The general concern was that different provisions in the bill would make it more difficult for crypto startups to launch tokens or operate anything resembling a decentralized project.

The crypto world is exhausting just to listen to. Coinbase turns around and runs, what does that mean? The regulatory framework is not tailored for us at all.

These guys at Coinbase, promised to support regulation but backed out at the last minute, really laughable... Just look closely at the fund flows and you'll understand, they're just defending their own interest groups.

Another policy drama? Coinbase backing down is truly unexpected; I thought they might pull off something this time.

In the crypto world, one day is like a year in the human world. These exchanges change faces faster than K-line charts.

Coinbase, this wave, really just a weather vane, supported it initially and now opposes it... The legislative environment is too unstable.

This crypto circle trick, promising to support the bill and then backing out, is really funny.

Regulation is just a dragon-slaying sword; in the end, it all becomes a tool used to cut down one's own people. I can understand Coinbase's rebellion as well.

I know this trick in the crypto world too well. Support today, betray tomorrow—typical fair-weather friend.
