He added that the US SEC has been asking for transparency from the digital asset linked businesses. However, the commission fought hard to protect these momes and ditch transparency. This has led the SEC Chair Gary Gensler to refuse to comment on several specific projects.

 SEC Using The Same Tactics In Every Lawsuit

The commission recently filed back to back lawsuits against the two biggest crypto exchanges, Binance and Coinbase. It alleged that Binance, its US affiliate, and its executives were operating illegally. While Coinbase was offering unregistered securities to its users.

Garlinghouse added that they have witnessed a pattern in the recent US SEC filed cases against the crypto exchanges similar to what the commission did to them. He claimed that the agency is killing crypto innovations in the country.

He stated that the current chair is an unelected bureaucrat who is weaponizing the lack of regulatory clarity to exert its jurisdiction over the entire crypto space.
