Over the past several weeks, my colleagues at the SEC, other regulators, elected officials, market participants and others have asked my views on the functioning of our capital markets, and the importance of those markets, in the context of our fight against COVID-19. In response, I have stated that, to the extent possible, our markets should function through challenging and uncertain economic times. In certain cases, I have elaborated on the basis for my views.

I support today’s final interpretive guidance regarding when “actual delivery” has occurred in the context of transactions with retail customers entered into on a leveraged, financed, or margined basis involving digital assets that are, or can be, used as a medium of exchange. In the past, the Commission has seen platforms offering retail customers the ability to enter into margined or financed transactions on all manner of commodities–foreign currencies, precious metals, for example–that are repeatedly rolled, offset against, or cashed out. Platforms offering digital assets to retail customers on a margined basis are the latest iteration of this activity.
