A notable development has hit the crypto markets. Senate has unanimously passed a resolution stating that FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried should "under no circumstances" receive executive clemency, including a pardon or commutation. The bipartisan measure was led by Senators Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and Rubén Gallego (D-AZ), the top members of the Banking Committee's digital assets subcommittee.
The resolution is symbolic and doesn't limit the president's constitutional pardon power; Bankman-Fried, convicted in 2023, isn't eligible for release until 2044.
This shift continues to shape the digital-asset landscape, with analysts examining its near-term effects.
