“For a very long time now, Gary Gensler’s SEC has been the (de facto, not de jure) most outstanding and outspoken regulator of cryptocurrencies.
The company practically doubled the scale of its crypto belongings enforcement unit final Might. It demanded over one million {dollars} from Kim Kardashian for her position in pumping crypto final October (huge rating for everybody who had the foresight to place ‘SEC publishes a press launch with Kim Okay’s title within the headline’ on their 2022 bingo card). It cracked down on Kraken’s staking program with a giant fats (for Kraken) $30 million wonderful final month.
The fanbase cheering on these strikes isn’t precisely enormous.”

“The SEC is a weed killer. We will’t get mad at a weed killer for not rising fruit. At greatest, we will argue about what does or doesn’t represent a weed, and whether or not or not the factor that simply bought sprayed ought to’ve been.”

“Effectively-crafted authorities coverage doesn’t simply cease dangerous actors. It additionally promotes progress and prosperity. It’s as a lot of a trellis for good crops as it’s a weed killer. That’s what we’ve overpassed.
That’s why it might probably’t be simply the SEC. We want a extra holistic method on the federal stage…
And that’s why we want authorities officers to stability the narrative, serving to the American public to see that it’s about maintaining the child as a lot as it’s about throwing out the bathwater—whether or not that’s making monetary providers inclusive and extra frictionless, financing new and thrilling functions of blockchain tech or just supporting the spirit of American innovation.”
