Mi az a Poppin?

Yesterday, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler described the cryptocurrency industry as a field “rife with fraud and abuse and hucksters and the like.”

Gensler’s strong words came during a live interview with the Washington Post, where Gensler reiterated his stance that he wants to bring crypto under the public policy umbrella.

This means instituting investor and consumer protections, and quickly, so that “there’s never a spill in aisle three,” as Gensler put it. To get ahead on crypto regulation, it appears that Gensler feels a broad regulatory stance is necessary. Gensler explicitly called out three sectors of the cryptocurrency industry that deserve increased scrutiny: unregistered tokens, lending products, and stablecoins.

On unregistered securities:

“And think about it, those projects, those five- or six thousand projects are raising money from the public. What else is an investment if it’s not raising money from the public anticipating profit, and the public is hoping for a better retirement or a better vacation next year if they make some money on this crypto or that crypto?… So, I don’t think there’s a long-term viability for five- or six thousand private forms of money. History tells us otherwise. So, in the meantime, I think it’s worthwhile to have an investor protection regime placed around this.”

On lending platforms:

“I think it would be better–the platforms that are trading securities, the platforms that have lending products, who have what’s called “staking products,” and I’m glad to describe that for your listeners, but where you actually put a coin at the platform and you earn a return–that they come in and we sort through, figure out how best to get them within the perimeter. We’ll also be the cop on the beat and bringing those enforcement actions, as well.”

On stablecoins:

“Stablecoins are acting almost like poker chips at the casino right now, so add to the Wild West analogy — we’ve got a lot of casinos here in the Wild West and the poker chips, these stablecoins, at the casino gaming tables. So I think there’s just a lot of warning signs and flashing lights.” 

To accomplish the crypto industry regulation, Gensler hinted at inter-governmental coordination, saying that he expects “there would be some help from Congress.” He went on to add, however, that “in terms of the SEC, I do think that we have robust authorities” to enact regulation.
