TD Cowen: US Supreme Court to Overturn Chevron's Resolution Could Complicate Crypto Legislation

Investment bank TD Cowen said Monday that a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning the Chevron principle could complicate crypto legislative efforts. "Following the Supreme Court's action, the ruling was widely seen as favoring the cryptocurrency industry. We partially agree with this view, as it will help the cryptocurrency industry challenge the Securities Exchange Commission's rules and enforcement in the future," the report said. "However, this does not change any past rulings or reconsider previous rulings." The report argues that the bigger question is what the decision means for lawmakers looking to enact legislation to regulate the industry and stablecoins, with analysts saying: "We are discussing details that are not normally seen in the legislation, such as what happens when retail investors participate in exchange platforms' staking schemes, or how AML/BSA controls would apply if a token used to hide its origins through a mixer, and neither side is willing to listen to regulators anymore, as the courts may now have a second review of these decisions."
