Amid the heightened autoritățile de reglementare scrutiny over the sectorul criptomonedelor în urma imploziei de FTX and the resulting wide-reaching market collapse, Coinbase and IEX are reportedly considering teaming up to address the underlying problem and create a regulated cripto-tranzacționare platformă.
Indeed, the leadership of the publicly traded cripto-schimb si bursă de valori have entered talks to establish a federally approved digital asset marketplace, according to the sources with direct knowledge of the matter, Fox Business raportate pe 21 februarie.
Specifically, IEX’s chairman Brad Katsuyama previously met with officials from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including its boss Gary Gensler, to discuss the foundation of the first crypto exchange that would have his unambiguous approval.
Specific proposals to be finalized
According to the IEX spokeswoman:
„Continuăm să luăm în considerare modalități prin care putem ajuta la furnizarea unei căi de reglementare pentru valorile mobiliare ale activelor digitale, inclusiv conversații cu autoritățile de reglementare și alți participanți la piață, dar nu am finalizat nicio propunere specifică care să includă terțe părți.”
Interestingly, the initial plan included partnering with the FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), as both he and Katsuyama held proposal meetings with the SEC’s officials nearly to the time when FTX filed for bankruptcy in November, according to Gensler’s public calendar.
However, IEX has been forced to find a new partner, as SBF is currently facing a federal indictment alleging widespread fraud, costing FTX customers and investitorii billions. He remains under house arrest until his trial in October, which could conclude with him being locked up for up to 115 years as other FTX executives are expected to testify against him under their plea deals.
Coordinated attacks against crypto?
As a reminder, the crypto industry has found itself between a rock and a hard place after the crypto exchange Kraken a fost de acord să-și închidă trasarea services in the U.S. and pay a $30 million fine to settle the charges with the SEC, which accused it of breaking the securities laws.
Curând după aceea, cryptocurrency firm Paxos was forced to stop issuing the dollar-pegged Binance semn BUSD and is now facing accusations by the SEC over selling the stablecoin it considers a security, in what CoinMetrics co-founder Nic Carter descris as “a well-coordinated effort to marginalize the industry and cut off its connectivity to the sistem bancar.
