The SEC/@GaryGensler are essentially claiming @coinbase is running an illegal business, yet the largest Asset Manager in the World and others are disclosing their intent to do business with this illegal business. It tells you all you need to know about what’s really going on.

The SEC could have easily have gone to them and outlined an exact plan to get them to compliance. Then if @coinbase or whoever didn't comply, they sue over whatever legal disagreements they have. Instead they do what they told one of my companies to do when we called, read these cases and get a lawyer to figure it out for you.
That's the fundamental problem of the SEC. They don't want to help companies get to compliance they want to challenge them to get to compliance
They are full of lawyers. Lawyers want to litigate. If you had business people , more like the SBA, there would be more compliance , fewer lawsuits and better investor education and protections . But if that happened, 2k SEC lawyers would be out of a job.
This isn't new. It's been the same for decades. They promote the number of cases and wins the get as their metrics rather than the number of companies they helped get into compliance and the impact those companies had on gdp, jobs and investor returns.
At that point the impact they have on protecting investors would be profound and stand out and most likely they would find the bad actors before they stole money because the connection to investors and real companies would be stronger and they would be willing to communicate about the bad actors.
As it is, no one wants to talk to the SEC because no one trusts them for fear of being in the same situation as @coinbase finds itself
You get what you measure
It turns out that one of the biggest mistakes one could have made in crypto in the past five years is to be a regulated company in the US.
This will have dire long-term implications for US interests.
@SenWarren Oh wise and all-knowing bank watcher, if you are so good at predicting these things, where were you on Silicon Valley Bank?
It's suffering a bank run for the very same reason as Silvergate. It has the same type of customers withdrawing at once.
Is that crypto's fault too?
