SEC predlaga vključitev kripto v zvezna pravila o skrbništvu

Predsednik ameriške komisije za vrednostne papirje in borzo (SEC). Gary Gensler predlagal razširitev zveznih zahtev glede skrbništva, da bi vključili kriptovalute, poroča CNBC News.

Širitev bo zahtevala, da bodo kripto borze podvržene strožjim postopkom registracije, da bodo lahko veljale za skrbnike in bodo sredstva svojih uporabnikov ločile od deležev podjetja, CNBC poročali. Gensler stated:

“Our securities law says that you need to properly segregate customer funds. You also shouldn’t be running a broker-dealer or a hedge fund and an exchange. The New York stock exchange doesn’t also have a hedge fund on the side and trade against their customers.”

Trenutno zvezni predpisi o skrbništvu vključujejo sredstva, kot so sredstva ali vrednostni papirji, ki jih imajo investicijski svetovalci. V skladu s trenutno nastavitvijo morajo investicijski svetovalci hraniti vrednostne papirje in sredstva, ki pripadajo njihovim strankam, pri zvezni ali državni pooblaščeni banki.

The investment advisers in question include actors like registered hedge funds, and wealth managers, which are required to register with the SEC if they manage over $110 million in assets.

Gensler’s suggestion will expand the custody regulations to submit any client asset, including crypto assets, under the same rules. Gensler acknowledged that the existing laws already include a significant amount of crypto assets and stated:

“Make no mistake: Today’s rule covers a significant amount of crypto assets. Based upon how crypto platforms generally operate, investment advisers cannot rely on them as qualified custodians…

Through our proposed rule, investors would get the time-tested protections and, yes, qualified custodians they deserve.”

He also added that even though most crypto assets are considered funds or securities which submit them to the existing regulations and that the crypto exchange platforms claim custody over their users’ crypto, this doesn’t indicate that they are “qualified” custodians.

Instead of separating their investors’ crypto assets, said Gensler, “these platforms have commingled those assets with their own crypto or other investors’ crypto.” He continued to say that when these platforms go bankrupt, the investors’ funds become the property of the failed company, which leaves investors “in line at the bankruptcy court.”
