According to Waters, the market crash and related bankruptcies of major firms gave U.S. lawmakers an opportunity of \u201cgetting accountability\u201d in the crypto space.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo the CFTC and to the SEC: I am not going to get in between any disagreement, any dislike, any of the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roaches \u2014 the two of you had better come together so that we can deal with crypto,\u201d said Waters. \u201cI think it\u2019s time for the Treasury, the Feds, the CFTC, the SEC, all of us better get together on crypto.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Waters chaired the House Financial Services Committee, she supported a bill to regulate stablecoins in cooperation with the Treasury Department, telling Cointelegraph she was \u201cstill optimistic\u201d such legislation could pass under chair Patrick McHenry. She added that bringing regulatory clarity to the space \u2014 seemingly in an effort to bring additional guidance on enforcement actions \u2014 was one of her legislative priorities in the new Congress. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe world is moving on crypto: different countries, different things we still have to think about,\u201d said Waters. \u201cI do believe that [&#8230;] it has to be a priority of ours.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2023-02\/3432985f-12f5-4f6d-b965-b6ca04145906.png\"><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Representative Maxine Waters addressing lawmakers on Feb. 6<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Congresswoman was one of the lawmakers who called on former FTX chief executive officer Sam Bankman-Fried to testify in a December 2022 hearing of the House Financial Services Committee.
