Ripple (available on Binance) CEO Support Registration
While Ripple (available on Binance) CEO Brad Garlinghouse admired regulators strategy of registering cryptocurrency exchanges and outlining broader trading policies, crypto markets aren’t welcoming the regulator’s decisions. The CEO suggested crypto markets to cooperate with regulators.
He said, “It’s incredibly important that the entire industry recognizes that we have to work with the regulators, we have to work with the system…the blockchain revolution is happening from within the system it’s not going to happen from outside the system.”
Japanese regulators are also punishing crypto exchanges for leaving flaws in their trading tools and assets security plans. Japan’s Financial Services Agency stopped Bitstation and FSHO from trading for one month; the authority has also warned five other important exchanges to enhance their system and internal security.
The investigation related to the Coincheck hack has outlined several discrepancies in crypto exchanges – including poorly trained staff, inadequate compliance with anti-money laundering standards, and misappropriated cryptocurrencies.
The U.S. SEC announced that it will not allow any cryptocurrency exchange to operate unless it holds the registration certificate from SEC.
The wider market opinion favors regulators interference and policy guidelines, simply because it will decrease the illegal activities occurring through digital currency use. This may also help to reduce the volatility in prices.
