Nekdanji predsednik SEC pravi, da kripto ustreza obstoječemu pravnemu okviru

Po nedavni izmenjavi e-pošte nekdanji predsednik SEC Jay Clayton meni, da so obstoječi ameriški predpisi dober model za kripto pravila. 

Jay Clayton spent a few years as the chairman for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which Gary Gensler now heads. In light of the recent dvostranski račun passed by the Senate, crypto regulations are the industry’s hot topic. 

If the wording in the bill is left as-is after its hearing in the House, this could mean a major disruption to the crypto space. When asked about regulations on the industry, the former SEC head said taxation clarity je dobra stvar. 

»Jasnost glede obdavčitve digitalnih sredstev je dobra stvar. Za to jasnost je dobro začeti, kakšno funkcijo opravljajo ta sredstva in ali jih je treba obdavčiti tako kot druga sredstva, ki to funkcijo opravljajo. "

Vendar je Clayton dodal,

»Nova tehnologija nas ne bi smela povzročiti, da bi spremenili temeljno zaščito naših vrednostnih papirjev in drugih finančnih trgov. V kolikor je digitalno sredstvo skladišče vrednosti, bi razmišljal o obdavčitvi na enak način, kot obdavčite nakup ali prodajo podobnega skladišča vrednosti, kot je na primer zlato. "

Nonetheless, the current SEC chairman doesn’t hold the same sentiments. Gensler has been contemplating a more robust oversight regime toward crypto. In addition, he pozvan the likes of Senator Elizabeth Warren for regulatory support. Warren is a stickler for more tightening regulations and implementing “crypto cops.”

Regulatorji za kripto

Nekdanji predsednik SEC se tudi v svetovalni odbor za Fireblocks podaja v kriptovalute. 

Fireblocks specializes in digitalna sredstva for payments, crypto gaming, and NFTs. This addition to the Fireblocks board comes after a successful Series D funding round. During that round in which the company raised $310 million.

CEO and co-founder of Fireblocks, Michael Shaulov, said Clayton’s high-level experience will be helpful as new regulations surface. "Jayov vpogled v tržne prakse in predpise v financah bo našim strankam pomagal razumeti, kako se te nove digitalne rešitve in naložbene priložnosti najbolje ujemajo z regulativnimi cilji in z dosedanjo tehnologijo."

In addition, the former Commissioner of the Commodity Terminske pogodbe Trading Commission released a Izjava of his end of term and future plans. In the statement, the former U.S. official believes crypto innovation is a priority.

“I look forward to keeping innovation, particularly related to crypto and Defi, relevant to my career and will continue advocating for the freedom, innovation, inclusion, and prosperity they offer.”

Nekateri regulatorji želijo, da se prostor zoži pod strožjimi predpisi, drugi pa razumejo, da je treba s situacijo ravnati previdno.
