US investors slam SEC over staking platforms crackdowns
Crypto investors in the US have expressed huge concern about how the authorities handle crypto staking. Recently, crypto exchange Kraken agreed to shut down and pay $30 million to settle the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). According to SEC, Kraken failed to register its program as staking services represent unregistered securities. This has sparked fears among crypto platforms that offer similar services. In a video message, SEC chair Gary Gensler mentioned that most staking providers do not provide proper disclosures to customers including how they protect users’ staked assets.
When a company or platform offers you these kinds of returns, whether they call their services ‘lending,’ ‘earn,’ ‘rewards,’ ‘APY,’ or ‘staking’ – that relationship should come with the protections of the federal securities laws.
According to Gensler, providing staking services should register with the Agency. In response, Coinbase stated that its staking services are not unregistered securities. Brian Armstrong, the company’s CEO has stated that it is ready to defend its stance in court.
Some users have called on regulators to rein in SEC as the Japanese regulators are handling the services better.
