SEC não é o regulador apropriado para criptoativos, diz CEO da Circle
- O CEO da Circle, Jeremy Allaire, afirmou em uma entrevista que a SEC não é a organização apropriada para regular as criptomoedas.
- Allaire stated that the dollar-pegged “payment stablecoins” should be under the oversight of a banking regulator and not the Commission.
- O executivo apoia a proposta do regulador de tornar mais difícil para as empresas cripto atuarem como custodiantes de ativos digitais.
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.
Em um entrevista com a Bloomberg em 24 de fevereiro, Allaire afirmou que a SEC não está apta a regular o setor cripto por causa do tratamento injusto dispensado às empresas cripto e deu o exemplo da ação tomada pelo regulador contra a Paxos, uma instituição financeira com sede em Nova York e empresa de tecnologia especializada em blockchain.
Conforme relatado anteriormente pela Bitnation, o SEC emitiu um Wells Notice para 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.
O regulador declarou na proposta que, geralmente, um banco federal ou estadual ou associação de poupança, empresa fiduciária, corretora registrada, comerciante registrado de comissão de futuros ou instituição financeira estrangeira pode ser qualificado como custodiante.
“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.”
A SEC recentemente se tornou bastante ativa quando se trata de reprimir fraudes e golpes de criptografia. O regulador recentemente entrou com uma ação contra Do Kwon e 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.
Além disso, a SEC também multou a exchange de criptomoedas Kaken em torno de $30 milhões 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 criticou o regulador afirmou que seus serviços de staking não são valores mobiliários e eles levarão o assunto ao tribunal, se necessário.
