Clash of the Titans: US Crypto Crackdown vs. EU Embracing Regulation

In the latest episode of Beyond Bitcoin, we discuss the grilling of SEC Chairman Gary Gensler by the House Financial Services Committee. Chairman Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) criticized Gensler for the SEC's enforcement actions against 50+ crypto companies, calling the approach "nonsensical" given the lack of clarity in the law. Gensler, however, insisted on the SEC's authority to regulate crypto. In stark contrast, the EU Parliament passed the ground-breaking MiCA Crypto Law, bringing comprehensive regulation to crypto assets across the 27-country bloc. Major crypto firms welcomed the legislation, which establishes Europe as the first continent with such extensive regulation. Lastly, we anticipate Nitin Guar's presentation at Consensus 2023, where the diverse crypto community will gather to discuss challenges, opportunities, and the future of the industry amidst the most tumultuous year in crypto history. Despite the volatility in token prices, innovation in the crypto space continues to thrive.
