Crypto is here to stay, says U.S. Senator Toomey

Pat Toomey shared his thoughts on this crypto industry and admitted that the crypto is here to stay. 

Crypto and blockchain adoption is no longer limited to a few institutional and retail traders but high-level government officials are also adopting this industry, however rules are still a big bump for the US democrates to go with crypto or stock openly. Here we may expect that it is El Salvador, which is responsible for bringing a solid push among the government officials to support Bitcoin and crypto. 

Pat Toomey, US senator from Pennsylvania, recently appeared in an interview with CNBC’s Squawk Box. In the interview, he said that some fraction of the portfolio should be in crypto. 

Toomey asserted that there should be independent rules for the other US senators/members to allow them to trade in crypto assets and also they should remain public like average citizens. 

According to a Pennsylvania senator, who is not active in crypto trading, crypto is here to stay and we should diversify the portfolio in crypto also. 

“It seems to me that crypto-assets are here to stay and a thoroughly diversified portfolio should have some,” Toomey said. I’ve always been an advocate for free markets, limited governments, lighter regulation, and lower taxes… and I still believe that.”

Through this statement, Toomey not only confirmed that he believes in a better future of crypto but also he believes that crypto taxes should be low like stock.

A recent report confirmed that Senates from the United States purchased $290 million in stocks while $570,000 in digital assets in the time frame of December 1, 2020, to December 22, 2021. 

These data records are showing that there should be better light rules for crypto and also there should be freedom for Congress to go through crypto, in presence of legislation to control the manipulation in any worst situations.
