Ron Wyden, chair for the United States Senate Finance Committee, has requested information from six crypto firms on consumer protection following FTX’s liquidity issues and bankruptcy.

In separate letters dated on Nov. 28, Wyden ເປົ້າຫມາຍ Binance, Coinbase, Bitfinex, Gemini, Kraken and KuCoin, requesting information on what protections the exchanges had in place if a failure like the one that happened at FTX occurred. The senator said that crypto users who had funds with FTX had “no such protections” like those at banks or registered brokers under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or Securities Investor Protection Corporation.

“As Congress considers much-needed regulations for the crypto industry, I will focus on the clear need for consumer protections along the lines of the assurances that have long existed for customers of banks, credit unions and securities brokers,” said Wyden. “If these protections had been in place before the failure of FTX, far fewer retail investors would be facing precipitous financial harm today.”

Wyden requested the six firms provide answers to questions including those on their subsidiary companies, safeguards of consumer assets, use of customer data, and guards against market manipulation by Dec. 12. The Senate Agriculture Committee has ກຳນົດການໄຕ່ສວນ to explore the collapse of FTX on Dec. 1, and Senators Elizabeth Warren and Sheldon Whitehouse have called on the Justice Department to potentially prosecute individuals involved in wrongdoing at the exchange.

In the other chamber, the House Financial Services Committee will conduct a similar investigative hearing into FTX on Dec. 13. Both chair Maxine Waters and committee ranking member Patrick McHenry have supported the congressional action, with McHenry calling the events around the failed exchange a “dumpster fire.”

FTX’s bankruptcy proceedings, currently underway in the District of Delaware, ເປີດເຜີຍການແລກປ່ຽນ could be accountable to more than 1 million creditors. The next hearing in the bankruptcy case has been scheduled for Dec. 16.
