加密货币交易所、SEC 2023.6.8……【媒体报道】➤Gensler周四在 2023 年全球交易所和金融科技大会上以虚拟方式发言时直言不讳，要求加密货币公司遵守现行法律。加密公司确切地知道如何注册，他们只是不想。
➤“这是国家的法律，”他说，加密货币公司没有理由不遵守规则，并驳斥了公司无法根据现行法律遵守的任何说法。 “我们发布了重新开放的版本，重申现有规则适用于交易加密资产证券的平台，包括所谓的 DeFi 系统，这已经成为法律。这已经是规则了，”Gensler 说。“不喜欢法律，不喜欢规则与不听或不明白是不同的。” Gensler 补充说，不需要“明确监管”，他认为发行人、经纪自营商和交易所应该确切地知道如何遵守。
➤这位美国证券交易委员会负责人还加倍强调他长期以来的立场，即加密市场已经成熟，可以进行操纵和欺诈。由于该行业不遵守证券法，目前的加密货币市场充斥着各种骗局，他说：“坦率地说，由于存在广泛的违规行为，我们在这些市场中看到许多问题也就不足为奇了。我们以前看过这个故事，这让人想起 1920 年代联邦证券法出台之前的情况，骗子推销员、欺诈者、诈骗艺术家、庞氏骗局。”“在 FTX 之前和之后，我们还看到许多公司自爆，以他们的方式伤害了无数投资者，全球数十万，有时甚至数百万，”Gensler 说。“不应允许加密证券市场破坏公共资本市场应得的信任。”
➤在他的机构宣布对交易所Binance（币安）和Coinbase提出严厉指控几天后，Gensler 坚决支持这些诉讼，指控这些交易所明确并故意违反证券法。

Gensler: Crypto firms know exactly how to register, they just don’t want to
In his first public remarks directly on recent SEC enforcement actions, Gensler was having no tolerance for any company who refuses to register

SEC Chair Gary Gensler defended his agency’s recent enforcement actions against Binance and Coinbase and issued a stark warning to any other businesses operating in the space: Comply, or you can expect a lawsuit, too.

Gensler did not mince his words during a virtual appearance at the 2023 Global Exchange and Fintech Conference Thursday, demanding that crypto firms follow existing laws. There is no need for further congressional action, as many in the space have called for, he said.

“It’s the law of the land,” he said, defending the SEC’s ability to oversee crypto markets.

Crypto companies have no excuse to not be operating within the rules, Gensler added, dismissing any claims that companies are unable to comply under existing laws.

“We’ve issued a reopening release that reiterated the applicability of existing rules to platforms that trade crypto assets securities, including so-called DeFi systems, that’s already the law. That’s already the rules,” Gensler said. “Not liking the law, not liking the rules is different than not hearing it or not getting it.”

There is no ‘regulatory clarity’ needed, Gensler added, arguing that issuers and broker-dealers and exchanges should know exactly how to comply.

The SEC head also doubled-down on his long-time stance that crypto markets are ripe for manipulation and fraud.

“We’ve also seen numerous companies before and after FTX blow themselves up, hurting countless investors in their way, hundreds of thousands, and sometimes millions around the globe,” Gensler said. “The crypto securities markets should not be allowed to undermine the well-earned trust of public capital markets.”

Days after his agency announced aggressive charges against exchanges Binance and Coinbase, Gensler firmly stood by the lawsuits, alleging the exchanges explicitly and knowingly violated securities laws.

The SEC head argued that the current crypto market is rife with scams that have arisen because of the industry’s lack of compliance with securities laws, stating:

“With wide-ranging noncompliance, frankly, it’s not surprising that we’ve seen many problems in these markets. We’ve seen this story before. It’s reminiscent of what we had in the 1920s before the federal securities laws were put in place. Hucksters. Fraudsters. Scam artists. Ponzi schemes.”
