Marisa Tashman, policy counsel at Blockchain Association, analyzes the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) decision to name nine tokens as securities and investigate whether Coinbase lists securities. Show highlights:
- why the SEC named tokens as securities in an insider trading case where no exchanges or token teams are listed as defendants
- what happens if the Coinbase insider trading case is settled or goes to court
- why the SEC’s actions should be considered “regulation by enforcement”
- whether there is any process to force the SEC to reveal its reasoning for calling a token a security
- why Marisa thinks the SEC is actively harming US investors with its crypto policy
- how Coinbase is handling the SEC’s investigation
- what Marisa thinks of Coinbase’s listing process
- why the Cynthia Lummis-led crypto regulatory framework is a good start
- what Marisa believes will happen in the crypto regulatory landscape in the near future
