“My patience with the crypto bulls is wearing thin,” Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D., Mass.) said at the December House hearing. “It’s time for the blockchain investors and entrepreneurs to build things that matter or to lose more credibility.”
A member of the Congressional Blockchain Caucus, Mr. Auchincloss received campaign donations from crypto executives including Mr. Bankman-Fried ahead of the midterms. In September, he was given a “digital future award” by the Crypto Council for Innovation, a lobbying group that includes Coinbase Global Inc. and, until recently, FTX.
Mr. Auchincloss said that in the 14 years since the first cryptocurrency, bitcoin, was invented, other innovations such as energy storage and DNA sequencing have seen breakthroughs. Crypto, he said, has only delivered “white papers and podcasts.”
