The US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) rigid approach is being called out by market participants, legal experts and industry insiders, all independently accusing the agency for its autocratic attitude and shortage of communication.

The largest cryptocurrency trading platform in the US, Coinbase, publicly disclosed that it has been left in the dark by the regulator about why its new product violates the compliance frame, despite months of effort to engage with the SEC.

In the meantime, the bomb that was dropped last year when the regulator filed a طرح دعوی در دادگاه against Ripple and its current and former CEOs, alleging that the company’s sale of XRP was an unregistered security offering worth more than $1.38 billion, is getting ready to explode.

Lack of corroboration

According to accusations circulating on Twitter, the regulator’s methods lack transparency and corroboration, which led some to question if there is any good will to regulate, or if the end goal is to completely control and eradicate.

“The SEC will stop at nothing to control the entire crypto space. This isn’t just about Ripple. Coinbase accuses the SEC of using ‘intimidation tactics behind closed doors to stop the company from launching a lending program,” according to James K. Filan, a former federal prosecutor for the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Connecticut.

Filan also shared the regulator’s recent تشکیل پرونده on Twitter, in which the agency opposed answering interrogatories regarding the application of the Howey test for determining the security status of XRP.

As for Coinbase, the SEC allegedly failed to communicate any details regarding the product’s assessment, for which they used “the prism of decades-old Supreme Court cases called Howey and Reves.”

“The SEC told us they consider Lend to involve a security, but wouldn’t say why or how they’d reached that conclusion,” according to the exchange.

“The SEC won’t share the assessment itself, only the fact that they have done it,” explained Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal in the company’s official post on Medium.

Not a legal advice

The billionaire Mark Cuban, was among those who joined the conversation on Twitter, advising the offensive approach.

برایان، این «تنظیم از طریق دادرسی» است. آنها خودشان قادر به انجام این کار نیستند و از اشتباه کردن در انجام این کار می ترسند. آنها آن را به وکلا واگذار می کنند. فقط افرادی که نمی خواهید بر فناوری های جدید تأثیر بگذارند. شما باید تهاجمی بروید

After the SEC filed suit against Ripple, Coinbase promptly removed XRP from its platform, but now some see this as an opportunity to join forces.

فکر می‌کنم این زمان خوبی برای کوین‌بیس خواهد بود تا به طور عمومی تشخیص دهد که SEC در حال فراتر رفتن است و XRP واقعی و جهشی داشته باشد. بله، ممکن است با دعوی قضایی روبرو شوید، اما زمان آن فرا رسیده است که صنعت کریپتو در کنار هم قرار بگیرد و از یکدیگر حمایت کند. من در کنار کوین بیس و ریپل ایستاده ام https://t.co/K94PwGOWLz
