Cryptocurrency Regulations Are Making Progress
The battle for crypto regulations is making progress, especially after Gary Gensler, SEC Chairman said cryptocurrency should be co-regulated by both the SEC and the CFTC. “Together, the agencies can assure market integrity,” stated Gensler.
Gensler proposed a ‘one rule book’ that protects trading regardless of whether the pairing is a security or a commodity. This proposal from Gensler comes after various legislation has been introduced, pressing the SEC for a stronger and more progressive regulatory framework.
Jon-Jorge Aras, Partner and Chair of Securities Litigation states, “Chairman Gensler’s proposal continues to signal the SEC’s commitment to regulate cryptocurrency more effectively. The SEC is keenly aware that the downturn in the crypto market has led to significant losses for retail investors. I expect more enforcement actions in the near future, as well as further announcements on what new regulations will come to fruition.”
