MRBEAST FACES SENATE SCRUTINY OVER TEEN CRYPTO APP



Sen. Elizabeth Warren is questioning MrBeast’s acquisition of Step, a fintech app with ~7M users, over concerns about crypto exposure to minors.

Key issues raised:

📱 Step previously allowed teens to buy crypto and NFTs with parental consent
⚠️ Content allegedly coached minors on how to convince parents to invest
🏛️ Lawmakers are now asking how crypto will be handled going forward

This isn’t just about one app -- it shows how sensitive crypto regulation becomes when it involves retail + younger users.
