Kraken’s Chief Legal Officer addresses crypto’s future
Kraken’s chief legal officer, Marco Santori, is optimistic that the settlement by Binance with the US government will have a positive impact on the digital asset industry.
Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, was fined over $4 billion for violating sanctions, engaging in money laundering, and operating an unregistered money-transmitting business.
In a recent interview with CNBC, Santori noted that the settlement of Binance will pave the way for a new era in the crypto industry.
“The industry, the ecosystem, regulators, policymakers, I think, are ready to move forward from the Binance settlement, that’s what settlements do. They set the stage for moving forward into something better.
Binance users, I think, were relieved to find that there were no allegations that money was missing. There were no allegations of insolvency.”
He continued and said:
“There were allegations of violations of financial services laws, which were serious, but thankfully, I think that this is just further evidence of a bright future ahead of crypto and a digital asset ecosystem that’s putting behind it a lot of its darker days.”
Santori commented on how Binance’s settlement could impact the future of cryptocurrency. This comes as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit last month against Kraken for allegedly operating as an unregistered securities exchange, broker, dealer, and clearing agency.
According to Santori, Kraken is closely monitoring a market structure bill known as Fit21, which would regulate companies like Kraken, Coinbase, Gemini, and other similar entities in the United States.
