SEC Chairman Says Other Market Protections Are Necessary Before any Bitcoin ETF, What Does This Mean for XRP?

SEC

According to reports from Coin Telegraph, Jay Clayton, the United States SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) Chairman, said that the federal regulator must feel comfortable with crypto custody and make sure market manipulation cannot occur before it will approve a Bitcoin or crypto ETF (exchange-traded fund). Clayton made these comments in an interview with CNBC.

Clayton answered questions about the approval of an ETF to be released in the United States. The SEC Chairman said that the regulator is working make such an outcome possible. Will this change the security status of XRP and lay the issue to rest permanently?

He noted that a number of issues must be resolved before any crypto ETF will get the approval of the regulator beginning with custody.

Clayton: The SEC is Concerned About Irregularities Relating to Preventive Measures for Market Manipulation

A second major concern that the SEC feels is the absence of robust preventative options for market manipulation issues. In Clayton’s words:

“The other issue that’s proving to be a stumbling block is that we must implement sophisticated guidelines and surveillance to make sure that people will not manipulate the crypto markets. We are working hard to ensure that we get there.”

Clayton’s views are actually in stark contrast with the concerns expressed earlier in the week by Hester Peirce, the SEC’s commissioner. Peirce has urged all stakeholders involved to implement a less cautious approach when it comes to innovation in the ETF ecosystem.

Finally, yesterday, June 6, the SEC filed fraud charges against crypto firm Longfin Corp. and Venkata S. Meenavalli the company’s CEO.
