My amendment aims to stop Chair Gensler's regulatory abuse at the SEC, particularly towards the digital assets industry. It prohibits the SEC from using funds for enforcement activities related to digital asset transactions until Congress passes legislation giving the SEC jurisdiction over this asset class. Chair Gensler has pursued enforcement actions against the industry without providing clear rules or guidelines for compliance. He has targeted companies like Coinbase while missing bad actors like FTX and Terra Luna. The SEC lacks jurisdiction over digital assets but tries to expand its authority through regulation by enforcement. Congress is working on legislation to establish a framework for classifying digital assets. This amendment sends a signal that unelected bureaucrats will be held accountable and that Congress should determine the future of digital asset innovation.
