The SEC's Changing Stance on Crypto Regulation
The recent activity from the SEC signals a potential shift in how it regulates the crypto industry, particularly regarding its classification of certain crypto assets as securities. Market maker Cumberland publicly criticized the SEC's approach, citing years of discussions and compliance efforts, yet still facing legal action. This includes the SEC's assertion that specific transactions require registration as a broker-dealer, a claim Cumberland strongly disputes despite having acquired such a registration in 2019. This ongoing tension highlights the frustration within the industry regarding the SEC’s unclear and evolving regulatory framework.
