Former U.S. SEC General Counsel: There is no regulatory inconsistency between the SEC and CFTC in terms of encryption supervision

Dan M. Berkovitz, former SEC general counsel and CFTC commissioner, stated in an interview that it is necessary to further revise securities or commodity laws related to the regulation of the cryptocurrency market. Existing commodity and securities laws are sufficient to regulate derivative and securities markets. These laws are flexible enough to adapt to new technologies such as cryptocurrency and blockchain trading assets. Berkovitz does not believe that there is a "difference" between the CFTC and SEC in regulating digital assets. The former SEC general counsel claims that Congress urgently needs to provide additional powers for non-security digital assets in the spot market, and the coordination between the CFTC and SEC on cryptocurrency issues is the same as the coordination on other overlapping issues. These two agencies do not always have the same views on issues, and considering their respective jurisdictions, it is normal for there to be some differences, but I do not think that any such differences in cryptocurrency will rise to the level of a "crack".
