Senator Elizabeth Warren and Tester co-sponsored the Digital Asset Sanctions Compliance Enhancement Act, and Tester has been a prominent opponent of the cryptocurrency sector. He once made the audacious claim that cryptocurrencies “don’t pass the smell test” for him.

Tester noted that controlling digital assets can unintentionally give them popular legitimacy. He issued a warning:

The problem is that if we regulate it, it may give it the ability that people think it’s real.

Weirdly, Tim Sheehy, his more pro-crypto opponent in the next elections, has grown in popularity. The crypto community has been urged to support Sheehy and against Tester by industry leaders including Ryan Selkis, the creator of Messari.

Some people, including as financial analyst Zack Voell and Satoshi Roundtable presenter Bruce Fenton, were less receptive to Tester’s argument.

CryptoCaster Quick Check:

With only $8,193 left to raise to meet their August online goal, the three-term senator is urging for funding in his bid for reelection. But Tester is in a bind because of his track record of stifling innovation in the cryptocurrency sector.

The discussion has been further exacerbated by Tester’s participation in the Senate Banking Committee, which is essential in crafting financial laws. The gap between Tester’s conventional financial beliefs and the quickly changing economy is highlighted by his appeal for financial assistance, despite his assertion that he will bring a “rural perspective” to preserve the interests of small banks and credit unions.CRYPTOCASTER® - DECENTRALIZED FREEDOM!


We hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I was hoping you would consider taking the step of supporting CryptoCaster’s journalism. 

From  Elon Musk, Larry Fink(BlackRock) to Jamie Dimon(JP Morgan Chase) a number of billionaire owners have a powerful hold on so much of the hidden agendas’ which eludes the public concerning the paradigm shift juxtaposed by cryptocurrency and web3 emerging technologies. CryptoCaster is different. We have no billionaire owner or shareholders to consider. Our journalistic efforts are produced to serve the public interest in crypto development and institutional disruptions – not profit motives.

And we avoid the trap that befalls much U.S. and global media – the tendency, born of a desire to please all sides, to engage in false equivalence in the name of neutrality and retail consumer protection. While fairness and transparency dictates everything we do, we know there is a right and a wrong position in the fight against fiat global banking interest and monetary reconstruction precipitated by the emerging crypto ecology.

When we report on issues like the FTX, Binance and Ripple crisis, we’re not afraid to name who or what is uncovered. And as a crypto sentinel, we’re able to provide a fresh, outsider perspective on the global monetary disruption – one so often missing from the insular American and European media bubble.
