History

Historical Context

After the 2008 crisis, Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act on July 21 2010, creating the Financial Stability Oversight Council and imposing derivatives clearing rules. That overhaul, spanning 16 titles, set a precedent for broad financial reform. Senator Cynthia Lummis now advances the CLARITY Act to extend similar oversight to cryptocurrency markets in the United States.
