I'm concerned mostly about the "need" to regulate crypto's globally, that the creature Christine LeGarde is calling for. Then we'll see some panic!

I am no fan of government intrusion into crypto but then again the crypto eco-system appears to have shown no interest in any kind of self-regulation. There is a huge amount of scamming going on in the crypto world which needs to be addressed by the community at large.

The govt and (private) federal banking system will never make something less corrupt-- EVER, lol.That is a certainty. Only people choosing to go within themselves and act with integrity can change what we see going on. Beating people into submission is no answer. It ony causes the beaten to morph around the abuser, which is why so many like Crypto in the first place. It's also why there is a big back to the land movement.

"The federal government wants — rather, it needs — to have a say in how the trading of digital assets operates. Without an official hand in the game, it risks obsolescence."
yep. Apparently they haven't figured out the definitely to "Decentralized" yet ;>)

This crypto evolution is not primarily for the west, but for those who are excluded by the traditional banking systems of the world. Because of that, this is their (3rd world) asset class. The regulators will scare the 1.5 billion of us who they have control over into compliance, but will ignore the other 5.5 billion. The result will be a metaphorical "United States of Africa" that rises up in defiance of the old guard. The regulators can't control the whole world which is why they will end up isolated in their gilded cage.

Sounds pretty desperate, indeed. A big part of why I chose to invest in cryptocurrency was not having to deal with things such as the SEC, so don't expect to see any of my info for extortion purposes about it.

Yep. How long has wall street been regulated yet consumers are constantly being scammed...

Nice read, very well explained how SEC uses the "law" to mask fear over loss of control.

Time to change DEX to DTP - Decentralized Trade Platform.

Problem solved.

Any certainty will be good, once we know where the regulators stand we can act accordingly.

I like this. Followed you

The SEC can't be serious, exchanges are not trying to appear regulated at all. This is nothing more than the SEC trying to get their piece of the action.

"but there is no reason to believe that such information has the same integrity as that provided by national securities exchanges.”"

The same exchanges were hedge funds spend large amounts ensuring their offices are closer to the exchange servers in order to gain advantages of others?
