FAP, May 8 / PRNewswire-FirstCall-Asianet /-- Brian Armstrong, CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, intensified his criticism of Gary Gensler, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). "SEC is a bit of a maverick in this respect," Armstrong said. "Chairman Gensler is a lonely crusader and for some reason he has taken a more anti-cryptocurrency view." 'i don't think Gensler must be trying to regulate the industry, but may limit it,'he added. But Gensler has filed some lawsuits, which I think are very unhelpful to the encryption industry in the United States, but this is also an opportunity for Coinbase to get clarification from the court, which we think will really benefit the encryption industry and the wider United States. " Armstrong added that although the company faces regulatory uncertainty in the US, the exchange will not leave the US.
