In a recent Twitter post, Cuban lashed out at the SEC for failing to publish proper guidelines for the crypto market, and understand the viewpoint of the general public, and “open it up” for discussion. The tweet came in response to a Wall Street Journal op-ed written by SEC Commission Chair Gary Gensler. Therein, Gensler states:
There’s no reason to treat the crypto market differently from the rest of the capital markets just because it uses a different technology.
Last year, Cuban accused the SEC of keeping the rules opaque and targeting small investors. The SEC claims that crypto would be treated “like the rest of the capital markets.”
Moreover, Gensler believes that cryptocurrencies are similar to securities, and there are significant risks in this field. The official also stressed that he noticed a lot of noncompliance with the crypto industry during a Bloomberg interview.
Gensler claimed that regulations on the crypto market would protect investors against deceptive conduct by private funds, offering or accounting fraud, insider trading, market manipulation, reporting violations, and any other forms of misconduct.
Many supported Cuban for his tweet and criticized the SEC officer for making this decision. One user commented, “All we need is well thought out rules. The US is so far behind.”
Another Cuban supporter said, “Mark, it’s clear the agenda is to keep the American people poor, begging for inflated dollars to feed our families.”
