Crypto Advocates Challenge SEC Authority Amid Regulatory Tensions
The SEC's stringent regulations on cryptocurrencies are drawing significant backlash, especially from Nic Carter, who criticized the agency's policies for pushing investors toward meme coins.
In response to Columbia Business School professor Omid Malekan’s claim that these coins represent a form of “economic populism” against venture capital-backed assets, Carter supported the notion that a more relaxed SEC could reduce interest in speculative investments.
Malekan argues that a Republican presidency might revive ICOs and stabilize the market, potentially reducing the appeal of meme coins. However, Carter contended that some desire for these assets will always persist.
Reactions within the crypto community varied, with analyst Murad suggesting that meme coin popularity is driven more by the increasing global money supply than by political factors. Kook dismissed Carter’s views, asserting that meme coins are simply a form of entertainment in the crypto space.
