Coinbase was warned about its high-interest crypto-product Lend, with the SEC <a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/ripple-welcomes-coinbase-to-the-party-as-sec-threatens-to-sue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">threatening to sue<\/a> if it launched.<\/p>\n<p>Unsiwap also <a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/decentralized-exchange-uniswaps-developers-now-under-the-secs-radar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">felt the heat<\/a> as it was reportedly investigated. Meanwhile, the SEC vs Ripple lawsuit saw the court <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FilanLaw\/status\/1440336152406282252\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">denying<\/a> Ripple&#8217;s request for documents revealing SEC&#8217;s trading policies on digital assets.<\/p>\n<p>Even as these events unfolded, SEC Chair Gary Gensler <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/washington-post-live\/2021\/09\/21\/transcript-path-forward-cryptocurrency-with-gary-gensler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spoke<\/a> to\u00a0Washington Post journalist David Ignatius about cryptocurrency and the SEC&#8217;s powers.<\/p>\n<h3>Cop on the beat<\/h3>\n<p>Gensler first stressed that crypto tokens were a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/washington-post-live\/2021\/09\/21\/transcript-path-forward-cryptocurrency-with-gary-gensler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;highly speculative asset class&#8221;<\/a> and defended his dedication to investor and consumer protection. He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/washington-post-live\/2021\/09\/21\/transcript-path-forward-cryptocurrency-with-gary-gensler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">admitted<\/a> that the SEC had a broad definition of securities and that it gave the agency a &#8220;great deal of authority.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Encouraging crypto trading platforms to come in for SEC registration, Gensler <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/washington-post-live\/2021\/09\/21\/transcript-path-forward-cryptocurrency-with-gary-gensler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Now, not many have, and so I do really fear that we&#8217;ll keep bringing these enforcement cases, but there&#8217;s going to be a problem. There&#8217;s going to be a problem on lending platforms or trading platforms. And frankly, when that happens, I think a lot of people are going to get hurt.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Gensler also voiced concerns about staking and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/washington-post-live\/2021\/09\/21\/transcript-path-forward-cryptocurrency-with-gary-gensler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">added<\/a>,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll also be the cop on the beat and bringing those enforcement actions, as well.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Coming to stablecoins, Gensler used his familiar crypto-Wild West comparison and likened stablecoins to poker chips at the casino. He\u00a0also explained that though the SEC had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/washington-post-live\/2021\/09\/21\/transcript-path-forward-cryptocurrency-with-gary-gensler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;robust authorities,&#8221;<\/a> there were some gaps. He hinted the agency might work with the U.S. Congress to regulate stablecoins.<\/p>\n<h3>Notes on Evergrande<\/h3>\n<p>With liabilities worth around <a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/are-bitcoin-tether-markets-on-the-verge-of-chaos-because-of-this\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$300 billion<\/a>, the crisis of Evergrande, China&#8217;s second largest property developer, has shocked the world market &#8211; and the crypto sector. Soon the Hong Kong-based, dollar-pegged stablecoin Tether [USDT] came under scrutiny. The company had to <a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/are-bitcoin-tether-markets-on-the-verge-of-chaos-because-of-this\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">confirm<\/a> that it did not hold\u00a0commercial papers, debts, or securities issued by Evergrande.<\/p>\n<p>Ignatius also asked Gensler whether Evergrande could affect the American market. Gensler just <a href=\"http:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/are-bitcoin-tether-markets-on-the-verge-of-chaos-because-of-this\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">confirmed<\/a> that Evergrande was not registered and did not trade on American capital markets.<\/p>\n<p>However, he added,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8230;it is possible, from time to time, that we too in America will react to other economies&#8217; and nations&#8217; shocks. And particularly China&#8217;s economy is so large relative to Europe&#8217;s or our own.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In essence, the interview came with a familiar promise for crypto innovators and traders. Referring to warning signs and flashing lights signaling a spill in aisle three, Gensler\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/washington-post-live\/2021\/09\/21\/transcript-path-forward-cryptocurrency-with-gary-gensler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>\u00a0he would rather &#8220;get ahead of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent weeks, the\u00a0U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC] has brought several crypto companies into the regulatory spotlight.
