PANews reported on February 6th, citing Coindesk, that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant made strongly worded remarks at a hearing, criticizing cryptocurrency industry figures who are obstructing the long-awaited Digital Asset Market Transparency Act. Testifying before the Senate Banking Committee, Bessant stated, "There seems to be a group of nihilists in the industry who would rather have no regulation than accept this very effective regulation."
