Ripple VD:n SEC-ordförande Gensler för att diktera vilka kryptotokens som är värdepapper
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has slammed Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler for claiming that he has the authority to determine which crypto tokens are securities, rather than relying on the legislation that governs his agency’s power. “It’s time for elected officials in the U.S. to take notice,” the Ripple executive stressed.
Ripple’s CEO Slams SEC Chair Gensler Over What’s a Security
VD för Ripple Labs, Brad Garlinghouse, has criticized the chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Gary Gensler, for dictating which crypto tokens are securities. Garlinghouse tweeted Thursday:
För SEC:s ordförande att hävda att han dikterar vad som är en säkerhet – och inte den lagstiftning som hans byrå får sin makt ifrån – går inte att förstå. Det är dags för folkvalda i USA att lägga märke till det.
"När du beter dig som en autokrat som driver en uppblåst byrå på 2.2 miljarder dollar, varför skulle du någonsin vilja ge klarhet om vad som är "in eller ut"? Utan tydlig jurisdiktion maskerar tvetydighet sig som makt”, varnade Garlinghouse.
Smakämnen Ripple executive made this meddelandet in reaction to Gensler’s claim that the current securities laws “cover most of the activity that’s happening in the crypto markets.” The SEC chief was quoted as saying: “If Congress were to act, though I don’t think we need these authorities, not to undermine inadvertently through definitions of what’s in or out, or in essence allowing for conflicts that we don’t allow.” Gensler warned:
Jag tror att många av lagstiftningsinstrumenten skulle, om de antogs, undergräva värdepappersansvaret.
Since the SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple, Garlinghouse, and co-founder Chris Larsen in December 2020, the company has been embroiled in a legal dispute with the securities regulator. The SEC claimed that XRP is a security, but Ripple and Garlinghouse have consistently argued that it is not.
On several occasions, Gensler has emphasized the importance of cryptocurrency exchanges and lending platforms coming in to discuss how to be compliant with the SEC. However, Garlinghouse has accused the securities watchdog of holding meetings with crypto companies primarily for the purpose of generera leder for its Enforcement Division. There have also been widespread complaints that the SEC does not provide tydliga regleringsriktlinjer, making it difficult for companies in the crypto space to ensure compliance.
Recently, the Nasdaq-listed crypto exchange Coinbase received a Wells märker from the SEC regarding potential violations of the securities law. The company noted in its response: “The SEC will not let crypto companies ‘come in and register’ — we tried.” Meanwhile, Gensler has repeatedly expressed the view that alla kryptotokens, Förutom bitcoin, are considered securities.
