Kripto borsası Coinbase'in CEO'su ve kurucusu Brain Armstrong, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nde kripto staking'i yasaklamak için olası planları eleştirdi. ABD Menkul Kıymetler ve Borsa Komisyonu ile sözlü bir savaş içinde olan Armstrong, düzenleyicinin perakende kripto staking'i yasaklamayı planladığına dair söylentiler duyduğunu söyledi.
Armstrong believes such a move would be a “terrible path for the U.S. if that was allowed to happen.” The Coinbase founder tweet attı that staking was “a really important innovation. It allows users to participate directly in running open crypto networks. Staking brings many positive improvements to the space, including scalability, increased security, and reduced carbon footprints.”
Armstrong went further to argue that staking was not a security, as claimed by regulators. He called for support to ensure “that new technologies are encouraged to grow in the US and not stifled by a lack of clear rules.”
Addressing the SEC’s growing itmek to regulate the crypto industry, the Coinbase founder noted that “regulation by enforcement doesn’t work. It encourages companies to operate offshore, which is what happened with FTX.”
Although Armstrong did not reveal the source of the rumors, his tweet went viral. While Armstrong’s tweet might surprise some of his followers, previous comments from SEC Chairman Gary Gensler have come to light. Gensler stated that cryptocurrencies that allow staking could be classified as securities under the Howey test despite being defined as commodities by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
Gensler told reporters after a Congressional hearing in September 2022 that he was not referencing any specific cryptocurrency, adding that staking was “another indica that under the Howey test, the investing public is anticipating profits based on the efforts of others.”
The top four staked cryptocurrencies by market size account for almost $55 billion in staked assets, according to Staking Rewards, indicating that a national ban would be devastating to the nation’s crypto economy, which has already seen the departure of several crypto companies to more friendly zones.
The SEC is likely to target centralized parties that provide staking services rather than the technology itself, according to several industry experts who believe that a ban on staking would be a hopeless cause that would damage the regulator’s reputation.
