Powell: The crypto industry will benefit from more regulation

Federal Reserve Chairperson Jerome Powell told a news conference that the cryptocurrency industry could benefit from more regulations governing its behavior. "We're not against innovation, we're not against banks interacting with the cryptocurrency space," he said. "But it would be helpful to have a larger regulator around cryptocurrencies. That would be a very constructive thing for Congress to do." (Kim X)
