Messari CEO Defies SEC Jurisdiction Envisions a CryptoFriendly Tomorrow

Crypto intelligence firm Messari has declared war on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), with CEO Ryan Selkis criticizing the agency’s crypto regulations and leadership. Selkis plans to fight the SEC through legal actions, lobbying Congress, and media campaigns, aiming to demonstrate that Messari’s approach to crypto regulation is more effective than that of the SEC. This move highlights the growing tension between crypto firms and regulators, which could have significant implications for the future of crypto regulation. Recent legal developments, including the Supreme Court’s Chevron case and the dismissal of charges in the SEC vs. Binance case, have weakened the SEC’s position and raised questions about its jurisdiction over the crypto market. The crypto community is buzzing with reactions to Selkis’s stance, and there is speculation about how his perspective on the SEC will impact future regulatory decisions, particularly in the Ripple vs. SEC case.
