The SEC stated that the exchange failed to register its staking program, which allows investors to earn a yield. Gensler stated that all these exchanges can easily register by filling out a form on the SEC’s website. Kraken CEO Jesse Powell tweeted about the speech, stating, “Oh man, all I had to do was fill out a form on a website and tell people that staking rewards come from staking?”
Cardano’s founder also retweeted Powell’s tweet, stating that he was blown away by the speech.
He did. The point is there is no way to actually register or comply. You can spend millions of dollars and years and get no answer or viable path forward. It's just a lie
