Crypto firms in the US are looking to move outside the country due to the absence of regulatory guidelines. However, Congressman Warren Davidson is introducing the SEC Stabilization Act to restructure the SEC and fire Gary Gensler as the chairman. The act proposes six commissioners to make decisions, rather than a single person governing the SEC. Currently, the lack of clarity around crypto-assets and legality in the US is causing frustration among investors. Moreover, firms like a16z, who support crypto in the US, are now expanding to the UK.
