BitGo CEO: Failure of CLARITY Act leaves US market facing systemic risk

  • —Belshe: combining exchange, broker and custodian in one firm is a systemic risk
  • —A custodian's collapse would hit the market harder than a broker's, he said
  • —Such a structure did not exist even at Lehman Brothers
  • —The root cause is the stalled CLARITY Act in the US
Why it matters: A warning about the US regulatory vacuum: without the law, large crypto firms face no risk separation, leaving the market more fragile.
