"You really do not seem so progressive to me," said Novogratz, commenting on Warren's call for regulatory framework against cryptocurrencies.
Earlier, Elizabeth Warren urged Yellen to identify risks posed by cryptocurrencies. She also called for the creation of a "comprehensive and coordinated" framework to regulate cryptocurrencies.
As iHodl reported, Federal Reserve Chair, Jerome Powell, also called for a regulatory framework for stablecoins as this type of assets might be a "significant part" of the payments universe.
