💼 The Enforcement Dilemma in #DigitalAsset Regulation 💼 The evolving regulatory landscape in #crypto faces mounting challenges, as highlighted by key industry players: 🔹 Paragram's Perspective: Paragram critiques the SEC’s broad classification of digital assets as securities, stressing the immense legal and financial strain this imposes on #blockchain #startups. The power imbalance leads to a regulatory environment shaped more by settlements than court rulings, muddying the waters for emerging companies. 🔹 Crypto Council’s Viewpoint: The Council raises concerns over the classification of #airdrops as securities—an approach that contrasts sharply with the EU's MiCA framework, which exempts airdrops from certain requirements. The Council warns this regulatory divergence may push #innovation overseas, hindering U.S. competitiveness in the #blockchain space. 🔹 Coinbase’s Call for Clarity: As a prominent industry voice, Coinbase underscores the need for clear guidance from the #SEC. Without it, #startups face high risks and costly battles, dampening innovation and driving many out of the U.S. market. For #blockchain businesses and #legal professionals, these perspectives underscore a pressing need for balanced and transparent regulations to foster sustainable growth in the #digitalasset industry. #CryptoLaw #BlockchainRegulation #DigitalAssets #Innovation #SEC #LawandPixels #DRT #Crypto #SEC #USregulation #tech #techlaw
