Citadel Pushes SEC for Stricter DeFi Oversight Amid Crypto Industry Backlash

Citadel Pushes SEC for Stricter DeFi Oversight Amid Crypto Industry Backlash

BTCCSquare news:

Citadel Securities has escalated its campaign for SEC intervention in decentralized finance, targeting platforms offering tokenized stocks. The firm contends DeFi protocols—including smart-contract developers and wallet providers—function as unregistered exchanges or broker-dealers, demanding equal enforcement of securities laws.

The crypto industry retaliated swiftly. Critics frame Citadel’s stance as a monopolistic maneuver, with the Blockchain Association warning heavy-handed regulation risks driving innovation offshore. Uniswap founder Hayden Adams fired back, highlighting contradictions in Citadel’s argument about "fair access" while operating in traditional markets with inherent advantages.

This clash underscores a widening rift: Wall Street seeks to impose legacy frameworks on DeFi, while crypto advocates defend permissionless innovation. The outcome could redefine whether tokenized assets operate under unified rules or fragmented regimes.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
