Anthony Scaramucci, an American financier and former White House Director of Communications, claims that the crypto industry was “really hurt” by the actions of the founder of bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, also known as SBF in the crypto space. The crypto entrepreneur is facing multiple charges in US courts.
Scaramucci noted that SBF “really hurt the industry in the United States from a regulatory perspective” while talking about the recent actions taken by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) against multiple crypto firms.
De crypto-supporter was aanwezig op de Collision 2023-conferentie en volgens a rapport van een gerenommeerd mediakanaal verklaarde Scaramucci dat SBF de meeste politici in verlegenheid bracht die een aanzienlijke hoeveelheid tijd met hem hadden doorgebracht, waaronder de voorzitter van de Securities and Exchange Commission, Gary Gensler.
“He embarrassed the politicians; he gave a lot of money to them. They spent a lot of time with him, Gary Gensler spent a lot of time with him. And then they had this huge situation that happened. And that was very embarrassing. And so now the pendulum has swung too far to over-regulation in this ridiculous prosecutorial oversight,” said Scaramucci.
The American financier said that the regulators in Canada learned from the mistakes that the regulators in the US made, with SBF adding that Canadians “set it up the way we used to do things in the United States.”
“They went to the industry. They said, ‘Okay, how do we fairly regulate the industry? How do we protect ourselves from bad actors?’ Most of the industry players know one another, and then […] they work alongside their legislators to come up with guidelines,” he said.
Scaramucci noted that after the collapse of FTX and its founder, SBF, being questioned for his involvement in the same, Binance and CEO Changpeng Zhao are expected to lead the crypto industry. He said that he will “give him an A on execution and growing Binance. It’s 65ish percent of the overall market. So I’ll give him an A on that. He probably gets a C+ or B on transparency around it.”
He noted that “maybe in the beginning, they had some things that they did there that were regrettable. But it’s just the SEC [Securities and Exchange Commission] that is suing them; we have yet to see anything criminal.”
Volgens een eerdere verklaring van de wereldwijde investeringsmaatschappij Skybridge Capital, gevestigd in New York City, gelooft hij dat de crypto bearmarkt is bijna voorbij.
