The crypto community witnessed intense arguments recently between the popular billionaire investor Mark Cuban and the SEC\u2019s former official John Reed Stark on Twitter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Cuban maintained that crypto is now under the bus due to the regulatory actions of the SEC\u2019s Chair Gary Gensler. <\/span>However, Stark gave a strong defense for the commission and its enforcement actions on the crypto industry.<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>debate<\/span><\/a> between the duo started on June 14, with Stark tweeting about people’s reactions regarding the SEC vs. Binance lawsuit.\u00a0 <\/span>Stark stated that many called on the judge\u2019s position as being skeptical over the SEC\u2019s enforcement action in regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n On his part, Cuban stated that Stark is being defensive over the recent legal battle the SEC initiated against Binance, the largest global crypto exchange.<\/span><\/p>\n The billionaire investor mentioned that Stark is misinterpreting the implication of the case on the entire digital assets<\/a> space. He criticized SEC Chair Gensler for his over-the-edge approach to digital asset regulations.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Cuban stated that Gensler is sabotaging crypto startups by using ligations on crypto-related firms and protocols. <\/span>In his earlier argument, Stark mentioned that regulators should treat crypto companies as \u2018large enterprises.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, Cuban countered such an opinion, stating that several crypto<\/a> businesses are still small. So, they should not be compelled to hire securities lawyers before they can kick off operations in the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n Further, Stark reaffirmed his support for the SEC\u2019s legal move against Binance. The former SEC official maintained that the digital assets industry is vast and unregulated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He noted the regulatory moves from the commission are the surest approach in sieving bad actors and om promoting transparency in the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n On another line of thought, the debate shifted to the best approach for digital currency regulations. Stark believed that digital assets should be handled as pink sheets or stocks.<\/span><\/p>\n Cuban brought a <\/span>different opinion<\/span><\/a>, mentioning that crypto tokens could be treated like securities. But the investor suggested that the SEC provide more clarity on its asset guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n The billionaire investor believed the crypto space would be like all the early-internet firms while linking the tech world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He mentioned that 90% of blockchain firms and 99% of digital tokens might disappear. In his terms, those that will survive are the game changers, replicating tech functionalities.<\/span><\/p>\n Finally, Cuban expressed his support for crypto, stressing that nobody could display the possible positive impact of digital assets in promoting the global economy.<\/span><\/p>\n Notably, Mark Cuban is a popular American entrepreneur and investor. In 2017, Cuban <\/span>made<\/span><\/a> his first leap into digital currency by putting Bitcoin as a high pyramid scheme. <\/span>Subsequently, the investor now supports the crypto industry.<\/span><\/p>\n \n <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Debate On SEC\u2019s Legal Actions Against Crypto Firms<\/h2>\n
