SEC Chairman Gary Gensler has argued the vast majority of cryptocurrencies are securities whose issuers violate federal securities laws. Republican Sen. Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming said she agreed.
U.S. Securities and Exchange Chairman Gary Gensler has won the ire of many in the crypto community by arguing that the vast majority of digital tokens are securities and that their issuers are violating the law by not registering with the agency.
Lummis emphasized, however, that bitcoin BTCUSD, -4.01% and ether ETHUSD, -3.30%, which account for about 65% of the total cryptocurrency market capitalization, are obviously commodities that should be regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. She added that because there are possibly as many as 19,000 individual cryptocurrencies and that it’s likely that most are securities.
CFTC Chairman Rostin Benham also spoke at the Washington Post event, saying that “probably hundreds” of cryptocurrencies are in fact securities and should be registered with the SEC.
