What will the new rules lead to? The regulator’s officials believe that the new guidelines may lead to an increase in the balance sheets of publicly traded crypto exchanges registered with the SEC. In particular, SEC chief Gary Gensler warned that investors with digital assets on platforms such as Coinbase are effectively providing unsecured loans.
Earlier, US congressmen called on the SEC to stop pressure on crypto companies. The officials expressed concern over the regulator’s unfounded investigations into cryptocurrency companies.
