From someone who stakes on @krakenfx it would be good to get an update on SEC findings. Will it just affect US customers from staking, or am I exempt living in the land down under? Seems like the land of the free...isn't really that free?

However they seem to ignore the fact that companies like @massmutual & #NorthwesternMutual provide the same service using their own general fund. Mutual companies are owned by policy holders. Similar to the Cardano network. @krakenfx is not a mutual company

@EleanorTerrett @krakenfx @HesterPeirce Hester being so open against her own org & Congress isnt bothered to hear her side of arguments shows the lethargic attitude & what a mess SEC is hell bent on creating & nobody dares to stop their high ✋ Hester-why are you still working with this corrupt org👀😱#beawhistleblower

so, SEC chairman says @krakenfx should just show a good disclosure to the public before staking and fill in a form at the SEC website to get their approval. That's it. It's not banned, it should be more transparent for the customer staking. That's a good thing. #ProofOfStake

@GaryGensler @SECGov Wait.. they just have to provide that information? Then why shut them down? I am a user of that service and @krakenfx gave me all the information I could need.

@jespow At what point does @krakenfx and other centralized exchanges just throw the towel in and get fed up with it? The leadership at the SEC is terrible, and I would be fed up with it and completely move my business overseas until the SEC has someone reasonable at the helm. I…

1/ On Feb 8th, Bloomberg said that the SEC is probing @krakenfx over the sale of unregistered securities. -> On Feb 9th, Coinbase CEO @brian_armstrong tweeted about rumors of the US Gov't cracking down on staking. -> On Feb 10th, Kraken shut down staking, settles with SEC

Just got a DM on IG: ‘Got a sad message from @krakenfx today. No more staking services for the US. Where should I move??’ Now I have to explain #DeFi. Fine for a one off. NOT SCALABLE! Until we fix #DeFi onboarding, education & ease of use. We will continue to face this issue

(@AdamRusch) reported
It's unfortunate that @krakenfx was forced to end their #staking service. I think there are reasonable legal arguments that such services are permissible under US law. On the other hand, I trust #Cardano's protocol staking for my assets to reduce this kind of risk!

People use these DeFi platforms to loan, borrow, and exchange money with automated protocols sans any intermediaries involved. @krakenfx agreed to cease its staking-as-a-service program in US -- a reminder that DeFi is not immune to regulatory scrutiny.

@WhaleChart There was way worse FUD than this just a month ago about @krakenfx and they did just fine. No issues withdrawing. But I do agree with one thing you say. Don't Store your crypto on an exchange. Any exchange. Self custody is the way!

@HesterPeirce @brian_armstrong @krakenfx SEC got $30M from Kraken, but entire world crypto, stock markets are down, lose $ billions after its raid. SEC won $30M, but small, honest investors lost their money, out of blue. Who pay them back their money? Of course, not SEC. It's not regulation.

@SquawkCNBC @GaryGensler @krakenfx Seriously a joke. Did you send him the questions first. Ask difficult questions. Is he working for the banks Is going after crypto as part of government policy Banks will benefit the most if staking is banned, is that the plan. Come on!!!!

SEC just robbing companies in broad daylight. Shake down masters. @krakenfx should have fought it harder bc this just stains the whole industry overall. Allow regulating bodies to just stick a gun to your head vs coming up with regulation to make industry better.

Yesterday, @krakenfx agreed to wind down its "staking-as-a-service" offering to its customers in the USA and paid $30M to @SECGov to settle the charges of offering unregistered securities. Here's our take 🧵

(@WahooLouder) reported
@krakenfx is there any difference in the staking-as-a-service from a group of co-workers who pool their money together for a single lottery ticket? Would the person who buys that ticket then be accused of the same infraction? Something seems fishy.
