 <p>The US crypto industry has faced a regulatory storm this year as regulators warn that the industry is rife with fraud, scams and money laundering.</p> 
 <p>The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is suing crypto companies including the world’s biggest crypto exchanges, Binance and Coinbase.</p> 
 <p class="p1"><span class="s1">It alleges that Coinbase <span class="s2">traded at least</span> 13 crypto assets that are unregistered securities and accuses Binance of operating a “web of deceptions” and of offering 12 cryptocurrency coins <span class="s2">without registering them</span> as securities.</span></p> 
 <p>The SEC is not the only U.S. regulator giving crypto companies sleepless nights. In March, the Commodity Futures and Trading Commission (CFTC) filed a complaint against Binance’s co-founder and CEO, Changpeng Zhao, and its former chief compliance officer (CFO), Samuel Lim for allegedly violating derivatives trading laws.</p> 
 <p class="p4"><span class="s7">Winton’s comments came hard on the heels of last week’s decision by the SEC to delay approving spot Bitcoin ETF applications from prominent asset managers&nbsp; BlackRock, Fidelity, Bitwise, VanEck, WisdomTree, Invesco and Valkyrie.&nbsp;</span><span class="s7">The SEC also failed to make its decision on a similar application by Ark Invest and 21Shares earlier last month.&nbsp;</span></p>

 <p class="p4"><span class="s7">Given the regulatory uncertainty surrounding spot BTC exchange-traded futures, analysts at Coin Centre, a crypto-focused policy nonprofit, have urged the U.S. Congress to formulate clearer crypto regulations. </span></p> 
 <p>&nbsp;Several US lawmakers have criticized the SEC and its Chairman, Gary Gensler for the way they have treated the cryptocurrency. They accuse Gensler of hostile “regulation by enforcement.”</p> 
 <p>Congressman Ritchie Torres is among the latest to criticize the SEC’s approach, calling it “haphazard and heavy-handed.” Torres also called for an investigation into the special purpose broker-dealer&nbsp;license that was awarded to Prometheum, “a trading digital assets platform that does not trade digital assets.’’ He said that the SEC was “politicizing” the process of registering a trading platform.</p> 
 <p>Torres then asked the SEC to establish clarity in the registration process, which he called a “bridge to nowhere.” He also wrote another letter referencing the SEC vs Ripple case&nbsp;and the ruling passed by Judge Analisa Torres.</p> 
 <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Representative Warren Davidson is another who has voiced his dissatisfaction with the SEC, accusing it of a “long series of abuses” toward the crypto industry.</span><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> He introduced legislation that could remove the current Chair from his SEC post.</span></p> 
 <p>Republicans French Hill and Dusty Johnson also wrote to Gensler two months ago to stress the need to establish a clear regulatory framework, saying that would ensure the US retains innovation and growth in crypto markets.</p> 
 <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"> 
  <p lang="en" dir="ltr">I sent a letter alongside @RepDustyJohnson to @GaryGensler stressing the importance of productive engagement with @SECGov on our actions in Congress to regulate #DigitalAssets and establish clear rules of the road for all market participants. </p>
