Crypto Influencer Highlights SEC’s Questionable 2023 Priorities

Popular crypto influencer Crypto Eri recently highlighted some questionable aspects of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s priorities for this year. According to the Commission’s examination priorities for 2023, particular focus will be given to new or never before examined registrants offering crypto or crypto-related assets.

Crypto Eri took to Twitter earlier today to tell her nearly a quarter million followers about the ambiguous language used by the securities regulator in its 2023 priorities. According to the influencer, the SEC cast a very large net for regulation in its 2023 playbook, because no crypto exchange has registered with the securities regulator.

According to Crypto Eri, since no exchange has registered, the SEC’s priorities for this year will let it continue regulating crypto entities through the enforcement of policies. The SEC stated that “examinations of registrants will focus on the offer, sale, or recommendation of, advice regarding and trading in crypto or crypto-related assets.”

The SEC’s 2023 priorities became the talk of the crypto industry when it was released in February earlier this year. The priorities directed the securities regulator to increase scrutiny of crypto brokers and investment advisors offering advice about cryptocurrencies in the United States. The document advised crypto brokers to exercise caution when offering, selling, or making recommendations regarding digital assets.

The SEC also intends to ensure that market participants involved with crypto assets meet and follow their respective standards of care when giving advice, making recommendations, or providing investment advice. The Commission will also ensure that crypto entities regularly review, update and enhance their compliance, disclosure, and risk management practices.

Crypto market ‘dramatically underestimates’ bullishness of spot Bitcoin ETFs

Image
“It’s reckless not to aggressively accumulate BTC at current levels,” K33 senior analyst Velte Lund said in a recent report. The potential of a spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval to drive prices up is dramatically underestimated by the crypto market , claim analysts from crypto research firm K33 — formerly Arcane Research.  In a Sept. 5 market report, K33 senior analyst Vetle Lunde and vice president Anders Helseth said the last three months had greatly improved the chances of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval despite the sentiment not being reflected in the price of Bitcoin or other mainstay crypto assets. The analysts explained while Bitcoin had all but given up its gains in the wake of Grayscale’s legal victory over the Securities and Exchange Commission — an approval would “attract enormous inflows” and significantly increase buying pressure for Bitcoin. Bitcoin returned its gains in the wake of Grayscale's victory. Source: K33 Research However, the downside of ...

Crypto Bias Blocks People from Seeing Coinbase as Goldman 2.0: Bitwise CEO

In a recent tweet, Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Asset Management, shared his frustration with the poor attention given to the US-based crypto, Coinbase, claiming that people are “sleeping” on the crypto business. Horsley argued that while big banks like Goldman Sachs attempt to avoid a “slow death” by investing in technology, APIs, and retail services, Coinbase has already achieved what many banks strive to attain. He points out that the exchange has an exceptional institutional team with 25% of the most significant hedge funds as clients, over 50% institutional volume, and a suite of first-class tech products. The Bitwise CEO also claimed that Coinbase co-invented the USDC payment rail, facilitating $2 trillion in transfers in 2022 Q4 alone. Rant — People are sleeping on Coinbase. Big banks like GS are working to avoid slow death by getting into technology, APIs (Apple deal), more retail services (Marcus), while grappling with the heft of legacy biz, rate exposure, ...
