TD Cowen: Crypto firms may push legislation to "derail" the entire cryptocurrency industry

TD Cowen, an investment bank, believes that increased regulation could disrupt the cryptocurrency industry. Its report says that the industry often joins forces to push a legislative agenda, backed by coordinated lobbying. However, when Congress starts to focus on a particular industry, businesses start to focus on legislation that benefits them. This forces lawmakers to take sides within the industry, undermining the industry's overall progress.
