Newly-appointed SEC Chief hints some stablecoins could fall under the legal definition of securities.

Gensler Says Stablecoins Could Be Securities

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair, Gary Gensler recently went on record saying that digital currencies whose price are pegged to traditional securities might fall under the securities laws.

The SEC Chair made the statement while speaking to the American Bar Association on July 20.

Gensler said that some platforms are offering digital assets that are “priced off” securities and resemble derivatives products.

او گفت:

“Make no mistake: It doesn’t matter whether it’s a stock token, a stable value token backed by securities, or any other virtual product that provides synthetic exposure to underlying securities. These platforms – whether in the decentralized or centralized finance space – are implicated by the securities laws and must work within our securities regime.”

While Gensler did not name-drop any specific token per se, his remarks come at an interesting time when financial regulators in the U.S. are keeping a close eye on stablecoins.

As گزارش by btcmanag است, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen recently convened the top financial agencies in the U.S. to discuss stablecoins.

At the time, Yellen remarked:

"گردهم آوردن رگولاتورها به ما امکان می دهد تا مزایای احتمالی پایدار سکه ها را ارزیابی کنیم و در عین حال خطرات احتمالی آنها را برای کاربران ، بازارها یا سیستم مالی کاهش دهیم. با توجه به رشد سریع دارایی های دیجیتال ، همکاری آژانس ها در زمینه تنظیم این بخش و تهیه هرگونه توصیه برای مقامات جدید مهم است. "

Stablecoins Under Regulatory Fire

Keeping up with the crypto bull run witnessed earlier this year, stablecoins witnessed astounding demand by investors. This hardly comes as a surprise as most of the crypto-assets are paired with stablecoins such as Tether (USDT) or USDC.

Of late, however, stablecoins’ excessive usage has come under regulatory scrutiny with financial regulators the world over با توجه به framing regulations for fiat-pegged digital currencies.
