In the latest, Citadel firm’s CEO shared such problems in an interview with the Economic Club of Chicago.
Kenneth Griffin, CEO Citadel, said that there is great uncertainty over the crypto regulation by the regulatory body and these uncertainty are big reasons for the firm to not go with the Crypto trading and crypto based products for their clients.
“Because of a lack of regulatory certainty around cryptocurrency, we just aren’t involved today…i believe (Securities and Exchange Commission) Chairperson Gensler is spot-on on the need to have thoughtful regulation around cryptocurrency”
Further he added that there are many Partners of the firm and also many online Institutional investors, which are asking for the crypto based services. But still such huge demands are not enough for them to go with the crypto trade facilities for their clients.
According to Griffin, if regulators will provide better clarity with better regulation over the crypto, then it will lead to better results in the crypto industry to give better services and better evolution because of competition. And also the growth and development of the crypto industry will build a better and stronger US economy.
“What a crazy concept this is that we as a country embrace so many bright talented people to come up with a replacement for our reserve currency.”
