Gary Gensler vs. Crypto: What Will the SEC Attack Next? - Ep. 485 | Unchained

This podcast episode delves into the SEC's evolving stance on Ether's security status, the evolving regulatory landscape for digital assets and the potential consequences it may have on the crypto industry. The expansive proposed definition of an exchange by the SEC, coupled with its focus on non-custodial wallets, staking and liquid staking, presents challenges in regulating decentralized technologies. Experts express concerns about the practical impossibility of compliance under the proposed rule, which may be aimed at controlling DeFi through information gathering and potential enforcement actions. The Treasury report emphasizing compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act raises questions about implementing anti-money laundering measures in decentralized systems. The podcast concludes with speculations on the SEC's future approach to venture capitalists and enforcement actions against Ether, pending specific circumstance and developments in the legal landscape.
