New York Securities Fraud Lawyers Blog
Malecki Law’s founder, Jenice Malecki, was recently quoted in a Crypto Times article about crypto regulation as it relates to the impending presidential election.
Ms. Malecki shared her thoughts that no matter who is to be elected as President, that there is one obvious takeaway –“the crypto industry needs regulation.” Ms. Malecki further explained that the current non-regulation hurts investors, like yourself, which also gives room for bad actors to flourish. Did your advisor recommend that you purchase crypto based securities? It may not have been in your best interest based on your investor profile. A Crypto-Securities law firm in New York, like Malecki Law, can help you analyze and conclude whether Regulation Best Interest was violated.
Ms. Malecki and Malecki Law have experience in cases involving crypto based securities, and have seen that there is more work to be done. At least, if the product is clearly a security under the Howey test, the SEC will regulate it. However, if the crypto product is not clearly a security, there is more gray area as to which regulator (SEC or CFTC) has jurisdiction and why. This naturally leaves a gap in regulation, allowing misconduct to not just occur but to succeed without monitoring.
