Last week, California and New Jersey both upped the ante in the nationwide race to write the rules for the crypto industry:
- The California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation published an Invitation for Comments related to issues impacting blockchain and crypto businesses.
- The New Jersey State Assembly Financial Institutions and Insurance Committee approved bills that would require licenses for digital assets businesses and establish a crypto regulatory scheme.
- Players in the blockchain and digital asset industry should take advantage of opportunities to help shape the evolving regulatory landscape, such as by responding to the Invitation for Comments.
