“Regardless of the outcome on Election Day, we are adopting a long-term perspective in our policy initiatives,” Dixon stated. “Supporting Fairshake is a crucial part of our overarching objective to establish clear regulations for the crypto sector while safeguarding consumers and enabling entrepreneurs to innovate with assurance.”
While the crypto founder commended the digital asset-friendly PAC for effectively integrating crypto into the national dialogue for this election cycle, Dixon appeared to express discontent with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its rigorous regulatory approach towards digital assets.
“Instead of establishing fundamental guidelines, regulators have depended on enforcement actions that have, at best, been applied inconsistently — and, at worst, have sought to exclude Congress from overseeing crypto,” Dixon remarked.
