“Absent clear investor protection obligations on these platforms, the investing public is left vulnerable. Unfortunately, this asset class has been rife with fraud, scams and abuse in certain applications,” GenslerA key note here is his repeated entreaties to Congress to act, rather than look to unilateral action by the agency itself.
“The statements regarding decentralized exchanges along the lines of ‘they list hundreds of tokens, some of which must be securities’ and similar phrasing in the actual SEC releases does nothing to provide useful guidance to the majority of the space that is trying to operate within the law,” he told CoinDesk.
