Two members of the United States House of Representatives have added their names to a list of lawmakers criticizing Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler’s approach to digital asset regulation.

In a letter to Gensler dated July 19, Reps. French Hill and Dusty Johnson suggested legislation was a more effective approach to addressing regulatory issues in the digital asset space rather than the SEC’s position to “regulate by enforcement.” The two lawmakers are the respective chairs of subcommittees in the House Financial Services Committee and House Agriculture Committee that examine digital assets.
