The absence/ near absence of a regulatory framework pretty much led to the idea that these innovators could run their businesses, set up businesses outside the US, and just regulate themselves.
He said the space already operated a centralised form of finance with exchanges running the show, and helping individuals to keep their crypto. “The FTX failure incidence has, of course, raised the global call for regulation of the crypto environment. For me, I think exchanges must be regulated much more tightly than normal banks. You know banking service providers are usually very regulated. In fact there is watertight regulation for them. If you do anyhow, you would see anyhow. That is what banking supervision and regulation is all about.
