The SEC Is Looking Into Insider Trading On Cryptocurrency Exchanges

According to Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett, The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States has written to various cryptocurrency exchanges, requesting information on the lack of insider trading protections. According to Terrett, the material was provided to her by “industry contacts with knowledge of the situation.”

Following several insider trading charges in the crypto sector, the SEC says it wants to protect investors by establishing restrictions. The Securities and Exchange Commission had previously requested that cryptocurrency exchanges register and publish financial data. The Securities and Exchange Commission’s Gary Gensler has recently chastised crypto exchanges for trading against their consumers.
