La SEC no es el regulador apropiado de los criptoactivos, dice el director ejecutivo de Circle
- El CEO de Circle, Jeremy Allaire, declaró en una entrevista que la SEC no es la organización apropiada para regular las criptomonedas.
- Allaire stated that the dollar-pegged “payment stablecoins” should be under the oversight of a banking regulator and not the Commission.
- El ejecutivo apoya la propuesta del regulador de dificultar que las criptoempresas sirvan como custodios de los activos digitales.
The actions taken by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission when it comes to the regulation of crypto assets haven’t been top-notch and attracted the criticism of crypto proponents as well as Congressmen because of the regulator’s failure in protecting investors. Interestingly, the CEO and founder of Circle, the firm behind the stablecoin USDC, Jeremy Allaire, recently stated that the SEC is not the appropriate organization to regulate crypto.
en un entrevista con Bloomberg el 24 de febrero, Allaire declaró que la SEC no está en condiciones de regular el sector de las criptomonedas debido al trato injusto brindado a las empresas de criptomonedas y dio el ejemplo de la acción tomada por el regulador contra Paxos, una institución financiera con sede en Nueva York y empresa tecnológica especializada en blockchain.
Como informó anteriormente Bitnation, el La SEC emitió un Aviso de Wells a Paxos which is the creator and owner of crypto exchange Binance’s BUSD stablecoin, a crypto coin which is pegged to the US dollar in a 1:1 ratio. The securities regulator believes that BUSD is an unregistered security and therefore, asked Paxos to shut down its issuance. Interestingly, the payments company confirmed that it would put a pause to the creation of BUSD stablecoins.
The Circle executive stated that the dollar-pegged “payment stablecoins” should be under the oversight of a banking regulator, and not under the control of the SEC. “I don’t think the SEC is the regulator for stablecoins,” said Allaire, while adding that “there is a reason why everywhere in the world, including the US, the government is specifically saying payment stablecoins are a payment system and banking regulator activity.”
“There are lots of flavors, as we like to say, not all stablecoins are created equal,” Allaire said adding, “But, clearly, from a policy perspective, the uniform view around the world is this is a payment system, prudential regulator space.”
However, the Circle CEO stated that he supports the proposals set forth by the Gensler-led Securities and Exchange Commission to “expand the scope” of rules set out by the 2009 Custody Rules. The proposal would make it more difficult for crypto companies to serve as custodians of digital assets in the near future.
El regulador indicó en la propuesta que, por lo general, un banco federal o estatal autorizado o una asociación de ahorros, una empresa fiduciaria, un corredor de bolsa registrado, un comisionista de futuros registrado o una institución financiera extranjera pueden ser calificados como custodios.
“We think having qualified custodians that can provide the appropriate control structures and bankruptcy protections and the other things is a very important market structure and very valuable.”
La SEC se ha vuelto bastante activa recientemente cuando se trata de tomar medidas enérgicas contra los fraudes y estafas criptográficas. El regulador recientemente presentó una demanda contra Do Kwon y Terraform Labs for wiping off $40 billion from the crypto industry using fake promises. The two allegedly orchestrated “a multi-billion dollar crypto asset securities fraud,” claims the regulator.
Además, la SEC también multó al intercambio de criptomonedas Kaken con alrededor de $30 millones for providing staking services to US residents and failing “to register the offer and sale of their crypto asset staking-as-a-service program.” Crypto exchange Coinbase criticó al regulador declaró que sus servicios de staking no son valores y que llevarán el asunto a los tribunales si es necesario.
