On Today’s Episode Of As The Crypto World Turns: Statement On ShapeShift AG, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, SEC Commissioner Mark T. Uyeda, March 5, 2024

Date 06/03/2024

The Commission’s enforcement action against ShapeShift is the latest installment in the serial drama of the Commission’s poorly conceived crypto policy. The current episode recounts the tale of an early innovator in the market for crypto assets.  In August 2014, ShapeShift AG started an online platform that facilitated trading in crypto assets.  ShapeShift sold from its own inventory, thus acting as a counterparty to both the buyer and seller, and generated revenue on the spread—the difference between its cost to acquire the crypto asset and the price at which it sold the acquired asset.  ShapeShift operated this way for more than six years before announcing in January 2021 that it would be changing its business model.  Customers would no longer be able to exchange crypto assets directly through the platform and ShapeShift would no longer act as the counterparty to any customer transactions.  Before this change, the platform, trading in at least 79 crypto assets, facilitated as many as 20,000 daily transactions.
