SEC Prioritizes Corporate Capitalism Over Investors, Pro-XRP Lawyer John Deaton Asserts

John Deaton: A Vocal Critic of the SEC’s Approach

John Deaton, a staunch supporter of Ripple’s XRP, has voiced his concerns about the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) approach to cryptocurrencies, particularly towards Coinbase and Ripple. Deaton’s critique extends to the SEC’s stance on accredited investor rules, its regulation of cryptocurrencies, and its position on retail investors in the Ripple case.

Deaton’s Stance on Corporate Capitalism

According to Deaton, the U.S. operates within a framework of corporate capitalism rather than a genuine capitalist system. He has used the SEC’s focus on Section 5 cases and its targeting of the secondary market on exchanges as examples of misplaced priorities that could stifle innovation and hinder the growth of the nascent cryptocurrency industry.

The SEC’s Opposition to Retail Investors

Deaton also calls out the SEC for its opposition to retail investors acting as friends of the court in the Ripple case. This position, Deaton suggests, reflects a hesitation to consider the views of individual investors, raising questions about whether the regulatory body prioritizes larger financial institutions over individual investors.

Perceived Double Standards in Crypto Regulation

A key criticism from Deaton is the SEC’s apparent double standard when it comes to dialogue with crypto entities. He points to the SEC’s lack of engagement with proactive organizations like Coinbase, contrasted with SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s multiple meetings with Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of the now-defunct FTX exchange.

Implications for the Future of Digital Assets

Deaton’s observations serve as a stark reminder of the potential pitfalls in the existing regulatory framework for digital assets. If the SEC continues to adopt a differing approach to various industry players, it could impede the growth of innovative startups, possibly favoring more established entities instead. This could have profound implications for the future of digital assets and the broader financial landscape.
