According to BlockBeats, on March 22nd, at the first cryptocurrency industry roundtable meeting held by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), former director of the SEC's Office of Cyber Enforcement, John Reed Stark, strongly opposed amending existing securities regulations for digital assets. He stated that there was no need to compromise on cryptocurrency under the Securities Laws of 1933 and 1934, and digital assets should continue to be considered securities. People who buy cryptocurrencies are not collectors, they are investors. The SEC's responsibility is to protect investors Stark said. He pointed out that cryptocurrency companies have hired top global law firms in an attempt to delay the enforcement process, but have lost almost all cases. Stark also claims that compared to past technological revolutions such as the iPhone, he has not seen any real innovation in digital assets. Stark has long been a staunch critic of the cryptocurrency industry, describing the collaboration between NBA team Dallas Mavericks and cryptocurrency company Voyager as "working with a heroin manufacturer. He supports former SEC Chairman Gensler's "enforcement style regulation" and insists that the cryptocurrency industry must comply with current laws, rather than demanding that the law make way for it.
