Cryptocurrency Revolution: How Regulators are Letting Criminals Profit – Jesse Powell from Kraken Explains
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has recently stepped up their regulatory game by targeting several firms in the cryptocurrency space with charges of unregistered securities. Several firms, such as Genesis and Gemini, have been charged with offering and sale of securities to retail investors and Kraken agreed to retroactively discontinue its unregistered offering and sale of a cryptocurrency asset staking-as-a-service program and paid $30 million in settlement. Kraken Co-founder and CEO Jesse Powell has since expressed his frustration at the SEC for ignoring the “illegal activity” for years. The SEC has also recently voted to make it more difficult for cryptocurrency firms to serve as digital asset custodians, and an attorney has pointed out that the SEC is claiming that XRP sold in Japan is a security, even though the Japanese regulator has said that it is not. This has led to cryptocurrency firms and analysts expressing their frustration, claiming that the SEC is “single-handedly” destroying the ability for Americans to buy cryptocurrency and is losing its credibility. This is a concerning development as it could limit the growth of cryptocurrency in the U.S. #Cryptocurrency #Regulations #SEC #US #CryptoCurrencyRegulations

Tron founder and advisor to the exchange, Justin Sun, has stated that Huobi could get a Hong Kong crypto license in six to twelve months. Specifically, Sun told Coindesk that the exchange applied to become a virtual asset service provider (VASP) last week. Additionally, Sun discussed the process of the VASP application and his belief that the crypto exchange could have an answer by the end of the year. Huobi had recently relocated to Hong Kong, aiming to launch Huobi Hong Kong by the summer. Sun was asked about embracing potential competition in the Canadian market and noted the strict regulatory standards in the country, referring to the Caribbean, Hong Kong, and Japan. There has been no verification of other cryptocurrency exchanges that have applied for a similar license, however, Coindesk reported Sun’s expectation that five to six other exchanges could make the move.
This news is good for Huobi as they are in the process of obtaining a crypto license in Hong Kong, which would allow them to operate in the region and serve customers. Other exchanges may also apply for the license, and the grace period given to the exchange could provide them with the opportunity to get approval in the next six to twelve months.
