members of the USA government different in response to the crypto world, some members choose to make strict rules and some choose to support crypto, the SEC rejects the Bitcoin ETF but does not give a response to US lawmakers who have Bitcoin.
I think it's not objective, if the SEC wants to ban bitcoin ETF, I think the SEC must ban and confiscate bitcoin from every USA resident, including USA lawmakers.
because many from the USA lawmakers that have lots of Bitcoin.
Of course, those lawmakers are not stupid and know whats coming. Also different opinions on a subject is called democracy.
Since it's a federal government each state is free to have their own laws related to Bitcoin until a certain point. The struggle will continue until more of them see the profits they can get from it, legally. It's something really valuable hiding in plain sight. It's how i would personally describe Bitcoin itself.
