New York Attorney General Letitia James has urged the US Congress to strengthen federal cryptocurrency regulations to combat scams. She testified against the proposed Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, arguing it would undermine states' ability to police the industry and protect consumers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The debate over US crypto regulation is not federal versus state, but which state gets to write the federal rules. New York is making a power play to export its tough enforcement model nationwide, meaning higher compliance costs are now the most likely future for you.
