According to ChainCatcher, John Boozman, a Republican from Arkansas, issued a statement promising to continue to advance the Digital Goods Consumer Protection Act. Debbie Stabenow, chairwoman of the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee, also said she would continue to work with him to advance the bill.

FTX CEO Samuel Bankman-Fried (SBF) has been called the strongest industry supporter of the Digital Commodity Consumer Protection Act, which would give the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission more power over cryptocurrency markets and exchanges.

As previously reported, Gary Gensler, chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), said that SBF’s role in promoting the Digital Commodity Consumer Protection Act, which is currently being considered by the Senate Agriculture Committee, undermined the authority of the SEC.
