The CFTC chair challenges the SEC's scrutiny, asserting that most cryptocurrencies are not securities, which could reshape the regulatory landscape for the industry.

Key Insights:

  • The SEC's ambiguous and stringent stance on crypto has been problematic for the industry for years.

  • The agency has pursued legal action against nearly every major company in the sector over securities law violations.

  • In a recent Illinois court hearing, CFTC chair Rostin Behnam stated that 70% - 80% of cryptocurrencies are NOT securities.

  • This view contrasts with SEC Chair Gary Gensler's perspective on crypto, expressed on several occasions.

  • The CFTC might soon take over crypto regulation.
