Coinbase chief legal officer Paul Grewal addressed some of the concerns raised by US lawmakers and industry leaders around President Donald Trump’s crypto ventures, and how they may affect related legislation.Speaking at the Consensus conference in Toronto on May 15, Grewal said there had been “hiccups” in Congress since the Senate Banking Committee voted to advance the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins, or GENIUS Act, in March. Though Grewal said there were disputes over “substantial issues that need to be addressed” in the bill, he hinted that Trump’s involvement in the industry was a “complicating factor.” “The discussion around the president's support for a certain memecoin or two and other efforts does add a certain level of challenge to the effort to get Democrats and Republicans aligned on the right way to regulate the [spot market], but I have confidence that the Senate and the House are going to sort all that out,” said Grewal.Paul Grewal (right) on stage at Consensus in Toronto on May 15.

Democratic representatives have similarly pushed back on the legislation, citing “Trump’s crypto corruption.”"I think we're gonna learn a lot from the progress we see just in the next few days on stablecoins on the appetite to really tackle all these problems on any schedule that resembles the one that was laid out not long ago by the White House and certain leaders in Congress,” said Grewal.Magazine: Trump’s crypto ventures raise conflict of interest, insider trading questions
