US-based Crypto exchange Coinbase has opened campaign to support crypto policy in all 435 congressional districts under the jurisdiction of the US government. This decision stems from increased regulatory enforcement actions by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
SEC Chairman Gary Gensler urged crypto exchanges to register as securities trading platforms in the jurisdiction. The commission has raised concerns about the services that crypto exchanges will allow in North American countries.
To this end, Coinbase has launched a campaign called “Crypto435.” According to the exchange, the goal is for the crypto community to join the regulatory policies that the SEC provides to the crypto industry. Will it have an impact on the regulatory landscape? Coinbase states:
It’s time to advance pro-crypto policies in all 435 Congressional Districts in the US Introducing #Crypto435, our campaign to grow the crypto advocacy community and share tools and resources to make your voice heard.
It’s Time For A Different Approach To Crypto
Coinbase stated that the crypto industry has reached an important moment and the decisions made by legislators and regulators in Washington, DC., and throughout the country will lead to future developments in the crypto space. Furthermore, according to crypto exchanges, these actions will affect the way customers buy, sell, and use crypto assets for various applications.
In addition, for Coinbase, the new regulatory policy applied to the industry requires “smart regulation” to continue the development and development of crypto and web3 in order to increase “economic freedom.” Coinbase concludes:
Coinbase will empower the Crypto435 community with information on how to contact specific politicians in your local district, what politicians’ records are about crypto, tips for making your voice heard in DC, and more.
This follows investigations and charges brought by the SEC and the Department of Justice (DOJ) against several actors in the crypto industry. Additionally, Coinbase has taken notice of the changing narrative around the nascent sector and is seeking to strike a balance.
It is important for Coinbase to clarify the rules that legislators and agencies apply to exchanges and digital assets to grow and continue to offer services to US customers. The Crypto435 campaign will seek to unite the crypto industry to change the course of SEC enforcement actions.
