Gary Gensler, Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), called for compliance from an industry he has frequently tagged as “rife with fraud”.
Gensler advised cryptocurrency operators and service providers to stop tricking investors in his message to the digital industry on the <a href="https://crypto.news/15th-anniversary-of-bitcoin-white-paper-from-concept-to-multi-billion-dollar-market/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/15th-anniversary-of-bitcoin-white-paper-from-concept-to-multi-billion-dollar-market/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin white paper</a>’s 15th anniversary.&nbsp;
Rhetoric from the SEC’s Chairman has consistently painted virtual currencies akin to the wild west, where bad actors defraud unsuspecting customers with the guise of decentralized technology.&nbsp;
The regulator’s short address saluted Satoshi Nakamato’s brainchild as the progenitor of crypto while throwing aspersions on the so-called anonymity achieved through blockchain networks.&nbsp;

 If Satoshi Nakamoto went as Satoshi Nakamoto for Halloween, would we be able to tell? Happy 15th anniversary to Satoshi’s famous white paper that started crypto. Any crypto companies that are tricking investors should start treating them to compliance with the securities laws.— Gary Gensler (@GaryGensler) <a href="https://twitter.com/GaryGensler/status/1719393827620876406?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">October 31, 2023</a>

Gensler’s post came amid bullish sentiment for Bitcoin (BTC) as prices rose above $30,000 and expectations of a forthcoming <a href="https://crypto.news/jpmorgan-foresees-lawsuits-for-sec-on-spot-bitcoin-etf-rejections/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/jpmorgan-foresees-lawsuits-for-sec-on-spot-bitcoin-etf-rejections/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">spot&nbsp;Bitcoin ETF</a> approval from the securities regulator. The SEC Chair said his commission is currently reviewing eight-to-10 spot BTC applications while ETF experts placed the total number of filings at 12.

Possible dates for approval remained <a href="https://crypto.news/lawyer-suggests-bitcoin-etf-approval-expected-by-end-of-the-year/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">speculative</a>, while updates from Wall Street titan BlackRock gave hints at the status of developments. The issuer filed for a CUSIP number which is procedural for listing financial instruments.

The update is routine and part of bringing an ETF to market according to experts.&nbsp;
Per reports, the DTCC also listed, <a href="https://crypto.news/ishares-bitcoin-etf-absent-from-dtcc-website-after-initial-listing/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">removed</a>, and relisted BlackRock’s iShare Bitcoin Trust (IBTC) on its website as part of ongoing monitoring and research on the buzz around spot Bitcoin ETFs.&nbsp;
