The Mass Exit Of Crypto From The USA Has Begun

When words aren't enough it's time for action and that's exactly what crypto businesses in the USA are doing. The SEC and government have been so aggressive towards crypto lately and for honestly no reason while the things they should have been worried about such as FTX and other platforms slipped under their radar. It's honestly been a shit show for the SEC and people are sick of it. Just a few days ago the SEC leader got grilled by congress and one of the biggest takeaway for that at least for me was the SEC overreaching and trying to lay down new rules when they don't have the power to do so. Instead they are simply running rampant and fining everyone they can based on extremely dumb reasons that does nothing to boost the confidence of investors.

In fact it's doing the complete opposite as crypto based companies here in the USA start to leave and open up shop in other places. Perhaps that might be a wake up call for the USA to start adopting crypto instead of attacking it. Otherwise they are quickly going to find themselves isolated and in a world of hurt. It's clear that over half the world is now attacking the USAs leadership and isolating yourself is not the way to improve your chances that's for sure.

At First It Was Coinbase

Coinbase has honestly been a fundamental part of crypto adoption. Yes they have had their struggles for sure and some questionable things like any company does there's simply no denying that crypto would not be where it is today without coinbase. They paved the way for some of the most impressive crypto adoption and easy to use interfaces ever.

Recently the SEC sent them a wells notice after countless times trying to work with the SEC and getting no where. You see the SEC is hell bent on calling crypto and all crypto a security. However nothing has passed law wise that says it is and it seems like no one can really make up their mind about it. So what does the SEC do? They try and take it upon themselves and just call it a security and fine the heck out of everyone. A very counter productive method of getting something done which creates many enemy's.

Because of this Coinbase is now looking to move off shore and do business elsewhere further isolating the USA once again. Idk about you but as of the last 2 years the USA has done a great job at making enemies around the world and at home. It's not a good look and it seems like they wont be chaning face any time soon.

Gemini Goes A Step Further

While coinbase has only talked about it and started the process another company called Gemini just launched their own derivatives platform outside of the united states. You can see this as a clear jab at what is going on currently with crypto in the USA.

This new platform will have derivatives contracts for BTC first and also GUSD otherwise known as Gemini Dollars (GUSD) and ETH/GUSD. This shows the core focus is Bitcoin and Ethereum for most major players.

These perpetual contracts are set to never expire and not be like traditional futures contracts we so often hear about.

It's Clear

It's clear now that if the USA doesn't start to be more welcoming to crypto it will exit and thrive elsewhere. It's in the USAs best interest to start being more friendly towards crypto and adopting it rather than attacking it. However their window to do so is pretty much limited to this year in which they have to act otherwise I see it as a slow and steady decline for the country.

Indeed… so crazy that Europe is more pro-crypto that the US while most country prevent you from buying anything worth more than €1,000 in cash.
By being “stupid”, Europe missed the tech boom. Seems like the US is making the same mistakes with crypto.

I don’t think they will be that stupid to let the crypto industry walk away. But they have to find a balance between needed regulation and the freedom for development and innovation.

Other than the universe, according to Einstein. 😜

But there is still hope as I am an optimistic person. 🤞🏻

I think more will follow suit in the coming months especially after the Congress hearing with the SEC leader. It seems the US is becoming more hostile towards crypto and they can't make a unified decision about it.

I agree that the exodus from the US is happening. It's unclear whether or not any of them can really run when the regulations are vague and the government can pursue them at any point in time. It's not going to be crypto friendly and people will move out to the places that suit their own needs.

A "shit show" and people are "sick" of it. Pretensions, pretensions, pretensions, . . . That's where the regulators excel at. They pretend to care for blockchain and crypto investors, but that's the farthest thing on their minds.

Coinbase and Gemini moving out? Who's next? Still fresh in my mind is what the Chinese government did a few years ago. Did they benefit from such hostility? Did the US government learn anything from it?

The cryptocurrency market is expected to have a significant year in 2023
The economy is what drives the market. Investors want real-world fait currency payouts.
