GSR Legal and Strategy Officer: SEC's New Crypto Rules May Be Overestimated by the Market, Unable to Break Through Existing Securities Law Constraints

Odaily reported that GSR Chief Legal and Strategy Officer Joshua Riezman shared his views on X regarding the U.S. SEC's latest proposed regulatory framework for crypto assets, stating that the proposal may not achieve what many market participants currently understand. Without amendments to relevant U.S. laws, the regulatory exemptions provided by the SEC under existing securities laws remain limited.

He noted that clearer regulatory rules are positive for the crypto industry, but the market structure addressed by the proposal differs significantly from the previous crypto market cycle. The industry needs to further understand what form the new framework will ultimately guide the U.S. crypto market toward.
