Has SEC’s Gensler Decided Against Crypto?

March 1, 2023 by admin

Crypto-Tuesday February 28, 2023 – Gary Gensler, the Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has come out with a statement that all digital assets, besides bitcoin, are securities. But according to various lawyers, his opinion cannot be taken as law without the SEC having to prove its case in court for each individual token, a process which would be incredibly timely and expensive.

Gabriel Shapiro from the Delphi Labs outlined that it would take 12,305 lawsuits for this to happen, making it unfeasible for most token creators. He also noted that registration is not feasible as there is no clear path for it. Overall, this statement has sparked fear in the industry as to what the SEC’s plan for crypto.

That said, it is important to note that Gensler’s opinion should not be taken as the final legal determination – although powerful. Ultimately, judicial decisions determine what the law means and how it applies.

In conclusion, Gensler’s comments are something to be feared, as his opinion could have a dramatic impact on how things are regulated. Remember, Gensler has been asked to recuse himself in crypto enforcement cases because of his clearly bias statements.
