Crypto-Assets: The Case For Strong Regulation And Enforcement - Speech By ASIC Chair Joe Longo At The Australian Financial Review (AFR) Cryptocurrency Summit, 16 October 2023

Date 16/10/2023

KEY POINTS

• Crypto must be held accountable to the same high standards we expect of everyone else. Offering services that involve new and innovative technologies, or that are built around new and innovative technologies, does not afford service providers a regulatory exemption. 
• Crypto relies on unregulated trust, and there is a need for regulation to mitigate the risk of consumer harm. Regulation must include enforcement.  
• Think twice before investing in crypto. Crypto-assets are inherently risky and complex. Buying them remains highly speculative.

Statement On Short Sale Disclosure, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Oct. 13, 2023

Date 13/10/2023

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In 2010, Congress directed the Commission to prescribe rules providing for the public disclosure of aggregate short sale position data on at least a monthly basis. The final rule that we are considering today, however, goes well beyond what Congress requires. Because a narrower rule leveraging existing reporting requirements could have brought more meaningful transparency at lower costs, I cannot support this recommendation.

Statement On Reporting Of Securities Loans, SEC Commissioner Mark T. Uyeda, Oct. 13, 2023

Date 13/10/2023

Thank you, Chair Gensler. Under Section 984(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Commission is required to promulgate rules “designed to increase the transparency of information available to brokers, dealers, and investors with respect to the loan or borrowing of securities.”[1] Today, the Commission considers adopting final Rule 10c-1a to fulfill that obligation. This rule would require covered persons to provide to a registered national securities association—which is effectively FINRA—information concerning certain securities loans within specified time periods, and would require FINRA to make certain information publicly available. The final rule also contains requirements for FINRA on data retention and reasonable fees.
