SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda has openly criticized the agency's approach to regulating the cryptocurrency industry, describing it as a 'disaster for the whole industry.' Uyeda's comments were made during an interview on Fox Business, where he highlighted the SEC's reliance on enforcement actions rather than providing clear regulatory guidance. This criticism comes amidst ongoing legal battles, including Ripple's announcement of a cross-appeal against the SEC. Ripple's legal challenges are part of broader industry concerns about the SEC's handling of crypto regulations under Chair Gary Gensler. Uyeda's remarks underscore the internal disagreements within the SEC regarding its crypto policy and the need for more transparent and consistent regulatory frameworks.
