He emphasized that transparency in markets is essential for investor protection and that the lack of disclosure in many crypto projects has led to significant losses for investors.<\/p>\n<p>According to the SEC chair:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;A lot of people have lost money in a field that\u2019s not providing the fundamental disclosure about their projects and investment contracts. If a market\u2019s ever going to have trust, it also needs to come into compliance.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Gensler added that the SEC will continue to act as it has to protect investors, regardless of the impact on the industry. He said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;That's what we will continue to do&#8230; And, yes, even if it is related to this newer market where, as I said, all too many people have been hurt, all too many people lost money and lined in bankruptcy court to deal with their claims.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Court rulings<\/h2>\n<p>Gensler was then questioned about the SEC's policy regulation in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which Bloomberg Technology's co-host Ed Ludlow called &#8220;kind of a business-friendly court,&#8221; and how the regulator adjusts its stance to court decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the aforementioned court <a href=\"https:\/\/www.courtlistener.com\/docket\/67756185\/123\/1\/na-of-private-fund-managers-v-sec\/\">ruled<\/a> that the SEC &#8220;exceeded its statutory authority&#8221; by demanding more transparency over fees and expenses from hedge funds and private equity firms.<\/p>\n<p>Gensler replied that the regulator acts within the law and what the courts interpret the law, adding:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIf the courts interpret it differently, we adjust. That\u2019s what we do, it\u2019s part of our great democracy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Bitcoin's Sweet 16<\/h2>\n<p>Gensler also acknowledged a milestone for the crypto industry, noting that the 16th anniversary of the Bitcoin whitepaper \u2014 commonly attributed to the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto \u2014 falls on Halloween this year.<\/p>\n<p>Gensler used this milestone to emphasize that while the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies has evolved, the principles of transparency and investor protection remain crucial.<\/p>\n<p>He framed the SEC's enforcement actions as a necessary part of ensuring that the industry adheres to the same legal standards as traditional markets.<\/p>\n<p>He further reiterated that decentralized ledger technology is not incompatible with existing securities laws and argued that the current regulatory regime is sufficient to supervise the industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SEC chair Gary Gensler pushed back against criticism of the agency&#8217;s enforcement-driven regulatory approach to crypto during an interview on Bloomberg Technology on Oct. 22.
