SEC, Stablecoin Üzerinden Mahkeme Çağrısıyla PayPal'ı Vurdu
- PayPal, PYUSD stabilcoinini Ağustos ayında piyasaya sürdü.
- SEC, birkaç kripto firmasını ABD menkul kıymetler yasalarını ihlal etmekle suçladı.
Ödeme hizmeti şirketi PayPal'ın onaylanmış that it received a subpoena from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over its PayPal USD (PYUSD) stablecoin. The company wrote in its quarterly report that “on November 1, 2023, we received a subpoena from the U.S. SEC Division of Enforcement relating to PayPal USD stablecoin. The subpoena requests the production of document.”
PayPal noted that it is complying with the SEC’s demands. Subpoenas are legally binding orders for testimony, documents, or other forms of proof that federal agencies can issue during an investigation into any violations of US laws.
Thursday’s news comes months after PayPal announced the launch of its PYUSD stablecoin. PayPal USD is an Ethereum-based stablecoin that is backed by the US dollar, dollar deposits, and other cash equivalents and is issued by Paxos.
Stablecoin piyasası şu anda rekabetçi ancak Paxos, PYUSD'nin etkileyici bir şekilde benimsendiğini ve lansmanından birkaç ay sonra $150 milyon piyasa değerine ulaştığını iddia ediyor. PYUSD, Kraken, Coinbase, Bitstamp ve Crypto.com gibi en önde gelen kripto borsalarından bazıları tarafından listelendi ve bu da yeni stablecoin için destek görevi gördü.
PayPal ayrıca PYUSD'nin kullanımını genişletmek için hamleler yaptı. Ödeme şirketi, PYUSD'yi Venmo mobil ödeme hizmetine entegre etme planlarını duyurdu. PayPal bu yıl Web3 hedeflerinde büyük ilerleme kaydetti. Finansal hizmet sağlayıcı yakın zamanda Birleşik Krallık crypto market after receiving a license from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority.
The SEC’s subpoena to PayPal is a possible indication of the hostile regulatory environment crypto companies face in the US. Several crypto leaders have urged new start-ups to move abroad in search of more-friendly rules. The SEC has sued several leading crypto figures and platforms, such as Coinbase, Binance, and Binance’s CEO, Changpeng Zhao. The SEC accused some of these companies of violating US securities laws.
However, the federal agency has suffered a series of disappointments in its enforcement actions against crypto firms. The regulator was forced to dismiss its suit against two Ripple executives and also suffered a humiliating defeat to Grayscale. Many believe the SEC’s loss to Grayscale could pave the way for the approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF.
