Two Democratic senators, Elizabeth Warren and Elissa Slotkin, have expressed opposition to upcoming market structure legislation unless an investigation is conducted into two White House officials, David Sacks and Steve Witkoff. Their concerns arise from a $2-billion deal involving the cryptocurrency exchange Binance that has potential implications for national security. The senators argue that without understanding if politically connected crypto interests are impacting national security, they cannot support the bill. This reaction follows a New York Times report detailing the deal and the potential conflicts of interest tied to the officials. The senators have urged authorities to investigate these allegations. The market structure bill is crucial for establishing regulations around digital assets, but has faced delays in both the Senate and House due to differing party concerns. Senators emphasize the need for legislation that ensures digital asset corruption does not compromise national security.
