4 Republican members of the U.S. Home Committee on Monetary Providers are expressing concern over the U.S. Securities and Alternate Fee (SEC) and the Monetary Trade Regulatory Authority’s (FINRA) stance on Prometheum Capital’s launch of Ethereum (ETH) custody companies.
In a letter addressed to SEC Chair Gary Gensler and FINRA President and CEO Robert Cooke, U.S. Representatives John Rose, French Hill, Dusty Johnson and William R. Timmons IV say that the SEC has already acknowledged that Ethereum isn’t a safety and that particular objective broker-dealers (SPBDs) comparable to Prometheum can’t supply custodial companies for non-securities.
Regardless of this, the officers say that Prometheum has publicly said that Ethereum is a safety and even soft-launched custody companies for the crypto asset in Might.
“It continues to be unclear to us how, as a SPBD permitted by FINRA to custody securities solely, Prometheum can custody ETH in compliance with SEC and FINRA guidelines, and why the SEC and FINRA proceed to permit Prometheum to carry ETH out to the general public as a safety.”
The letter says that Prometheum’s assertion and actions are “deceptive” and have already brought on confusion within the market, with the SEC and FINRA’s silence worsening the state of affairs.
“The SEC and FINRA are complicit in perpetuating confusion and uncertainty within the market, which in the end harms market members and customers.
The SEC’s and FINRA’s silence is irresponsible and continues to boost troubling questions because it pertains to the SPBD necessities and course of in addition to the SEC’s and FINRA’s means to oversee broker-dealers and make sure the market’s integrity.”
