此前呼吁在美国禁止加密货币的国会议员布拉德谢尔曼批评了美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 在主要加密货币交易所中的执法方式。
在周二众议院金融服务委员会的听证会上，谢尔曼说 SEC 执法主管 Gurbir Grewal 在针对美国加密货币交易所追究证券案件时需要表现出“毅力和勇气”。这位立法者补充说，美国证券交易委员会执法部门已经“追查”XRP 作为一种证券，而不是处理“数万”代币交易的加密货币交易所。
“如果 XRP 是一种证券——你认为它是，我认为它是，为什么这些加密货币交易所没有违反法律，加密货币交易所说‘好吧，在过去，我们保证以后不再做任何事？'”谢尔曼问道。 “这足以让你摆脱执法的束缚吗？”
Grewal 回应说，他无法具体说明 SEC 执法部门是否正在调查任何加密货币交易所，但提到了针对 Poloniex 的案件 2021 年 8 月，在 2017 年 7 月至 2019 年 11 月期间在其平台上向美国投资者交易被视为证券的加密货币。谢尔曼反驳说，加密交易平台是其他主要交易所中的“小鱼”，可能指的是 Kraken、Coinbase 和 Binance US：
“经营主要交易所的大鱼与 XRP 进行了数以万计的交易。你知道这是一种证券——这意味着他们非法经营证券交易所。他们知道这是非法的，因为他们停止了这样做，即使它是有利可图的 [...] 我希望你关注这一点。”
SEC 主席 Gary Gensler 和 Grewal 在政府部门 2023 财年的预算申请中都提到了对加密货币执法的担忧。在听证会的书面陈述中，Grewal说 这加密市场 正在变得“越来越复杂，相关的不当行为变得越来越难以发现，并且越来越复杂和国际化。”
5 月，拜登总统要求超过 21 亿美元 在 2023 财年为 SEC 批准，允许监管机构将其执法部门增加 50 人，监管机构的网络部门预计将有 20 名新员工，其中包括加密资产和网络团队。参议员辛西娅·鲁米斯 (Cynthia Lummis) 和克尔斯滕·吉利布兰德 (Kirsten Gillibrand) 也6月出台立法 建议商品期货交易委员会，而不是美国证券交易委员会，对数字资产现货市场拥有权力。
