<p>The ongoing debate between the SEC and the crypto industry has escalated, with lawmakers and industry leaders voicing concerns about the regulator’s approach. The SEC has repeatedly warned exchanges to register with the agency, leading to lawsuits against major companies like Coinbase and Kraken for allegedly operating as unregistered exchanges. </p>   
<p>However, crypto companies have argued that registration is nearly impossible due to outdated regulations for traditional financial institutions. Despite this, some companies, such as Prometheum and <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240911388889/en/Prometheum-Capital-Launches-its-Custody-Platform-for-Digital-Asset-Securities" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">tZERO</a>, have secured special-purpose broker-dealer licenses, adding to the complex nature of compliance in the crypto space.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-crypto-firms-push-back-against-sec-s-regulatory-stance-strong"><strong>Crypto Firms Push Back Against SEC’s Regulatory Stance</strong></h2>   
<p>The SEC’s approach to regulating cryptocurrency exchanges has drawn criticism from both industry leaders and lawmakers. Chairman Gary Gensler has made it seem simple for crypto companies to register, but many in the industry say the regulatory framework fails to take into account the complexities of digital assets. </p>   
<p>Some companies, like <a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/292639/sec-issues-robinhood-crypto-with-wells-notice-citing-alleged-securities-violations" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Robinhood Crypto</a>, have attempted to comply, only to face challenges in getting clear guidance from the SEC. While some companies have managed to secure licenses, others continue to push back, claiming that the agency’s actions are politicized and harmful to innovation. The debate between the SEC vs crypto exchanges shows no signs of abating as tensions continue to rise.</p>
