Expressed concern for American consumers

During a hearing in October, Warren said that “the challenge is how to nurture productive aspects of crypto with protecting consumers”.

And in November, she further expressed concern that American families are at risk of getting hurt, and that there may be a need for an agency to keep track of the crypto market.

“What I think is that we need a Fed (Federal Reserve) that is engaged in watching where risk builds up in the system. That’s the Fed’s job – that’s not the job of American families”, Elizabeth Warren said last November.
