两位美国参议员要求SEC不要再批准更多比特币ETF：Coinbase大声回应

3 月 11 日，两位美国参议员 Jack Reed 和 Laphonza Butler 致信 SEC 主席 Gary Gensler，要求在比特币 ETF 之后不再批准任何加密 ETF：Coinbase 立即陷入冲突。

两位民主党人认为，引入其他加密投资工具将使散户投资者面临过高的风险。

Coinbase 显然对新的加密货币 ETF 的批准拥有既得利益，但它与参议员们强调的内容无关，称这些挑衅完全是误导性的。

主要问题是以太坊的交易所交易基金问题，美国证券交易委员会的最后期限定为五月。

所有详细信息如下。

继 SEC 批准比特币之后，停止批准新的 ETF：Coinbase 攻击两位美国参议员

参议员杰克·里德 (Jack Reed) 和拉方扎·巴特勒 (Laphonza Butler) 正在尽一切努力限制美国投资者对新加密 ETF 的投资

参议院通过一封信正式提出这一要求的原因是，根据两位政治家的说法，额外的加密货币交易所交易基金的存在将给散户投资者带来潜在的“巨大风险”。

信中包含了对数字资产世界的蔑视，将其描述为“低交易”市场以及欺诈和操纵盛行的地方。

以下是参议员们的文字描述：

“尽管比特币可能容易受到欺诈和操纵，但其他加密货币的市场更容易受到不道德行为的影响。”

里德和巴特勒还要求加里·根斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 要求

目前正在讨论的问题是 SEC 必须在 5 月份就批准或拒绝美国交易所关于以太坊的 8 项待决 ETF 请求做出决定。

Experts suggest that following the Senate’s urging, Gensler may be more inclined to reject the offer from Fund Managers who wish to offer investment products in ether to their clients, given the results obtained on Bitcoin.

In this regard, we report the data on volumes of ETFs in the month of March, where 65 billion dollars in trades were reached in just 15 days

These incredibly high numbers are in contrast to what was erroneously emphasized by the two senators in the letter to the SEC, where they wrote that the cryptocurrency markets are not well attended and have few transactions.

Eric Balchunas, ETF analyst at Bloomberg, highlighted how the approval odds for an exchange-traded fund on Ethereum were twice as high just two months ago, when the same expert had set them at 70%.

Now the chances of success in this sense have been reduced to 35%, precisely because of the interference of the political sphere in the world of investments:

In a post on March 15, Balchunas declared that:

“The success of the Bitcoin ETF is shocking to high-ranking Democrats. Buyer’s remorse. This is one of the reasons we are pessimistic about the chances of ETF approval.”

Coinbase responds: Senate provocations are misleading

The cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, the direct target of the pressures advanced by US senators Jack Reed and Laphonza Butler to the SEC, has responded to the provocations by making its voice heard.

The legal counsel of Coinbase, Paul Grewal, has noted how the letter sent to Gensler on March 11 is blatantly misleading as it describes a situation completely reversed compared to the actual dynamics observed in the cryptographic landscape.

Indeed, in the markets of Bitcoin and Ethereum they would be correlated with each other, as well as with the rest of the existing cryptocurrencies, and no additional manipulation risks would be added with the introduction of a new ETF.

“Compared to Bitcoin, the futures and spot market of ETH show EXACTLY the same type of high and consistent correlation that would allow market surveillance.”

Furthermore, Ether markets, unlike what two senators presented, are particularly liquid and with many trades behind them.

Grewal in particular observed how the latter even outperforms the market of the most traded stocks in the country:

“The ETH spot market is deep and liquid: only two S&P 500 securities have a higher notional trading volume in dollars”

Respectfully Senators, the evidence points exactly the opposite way. We have discussed our analysis with SEC staff and would be happy to do the same for you and any other policy makers who have questions. 1/7 https://t.co/juFj4QyDnj

因此，很明显，在这一点上，我们不再谈论什么对社区和投资者有利，而是谈论政治意愿，这种政治意愿只会迫使其推进自己的反加密运动。

Coinbase 并没有退缩，就像过去对比特币 ETF 所做的那样，

专家表示，鉴于目前的情况，SEC很可能会带头拒绝以太坊上的新交易所交易基金，理由是期货和现货交易所之间的价格差异，引发人们对以太坊性质（安全与否）的质疑。资产并恢复民主党参议员提出的操纵主题。

无论如何，Coinbase 与 Grayscale 联手，打算利用其期货请求来围堵 SEC，可能会在未来几周内改变游戏规则。
