SEC este „deschisă discuției” atunci când vine vorba de cripto: avocat șef Kraken

Amid a fraught period for some high-profile United States crypto firms and financial regulators, Kraken chief legal officer Marco Santori is calling for a dose of pragmatism going forward.

Vorbire on Bloomberg’s QuickTake Stock broadcast on Thursday, Santori told viewers, “You’re living in a fantasy world if you don’t believe that this industry is going to face heavier, more Wall Street-like regulation from governments in the U.S. and abroad.”

Santori’s comments follow threats by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this month to dați în judecată binecunoscutul schimb de criptomonede Coinbase over a crypto yield program the commission deemed to be a security. The move sparked the exchange’s CEO, Brian Armstrong, to adopt a combative and resistant stance on social media, although the exchange has since a anunțat că va anula programul în cauză, în conformitate cu dorințele SEC. 

Commenting directly on the developments, Santori said, “I’ve certainly followed Brian’s tweets, and I’ll say that look, you’re just not being honest with yourself about the crypto community if a little bit of you doesn’t think he’s saying what a lot of people are thinking.” He soon pivoted, however, taking pains to articulate the more pragmatic agenda he’s pursuing at Kraken:

„Nu pot sprijini acest tip de abordare cu autoritățile de reglementare. Nu a avut niciodată succes din punct de vedere istoric și, din experiența noastră, am descoperit că SEC este deschisă discuțiilor.”

S.U.A. autoritățile de reglementare financiară, particularly under SEC Chair Gary Gensler, have indicated they intend to introduce o serie de schimbări de politică this year that will affect token offerings, decentralized finance, stablecoins, custody, exchange-traded funds and lending platforms. Despite his hawkish tone, Gensler has appealed to industry actors to interacționează cu agenția going forward. With the regulatory outlook still evolving, the crypto markets, meanwhile, remain highly sensitive la posibilele implicaţii ale fiecăruia dintre autorităţile de reglementare intervenții publice legate de cripto.
