NEW YORK, June 16 (Reuters) - A top U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) official on Friday rejected criticism of the regulator's cryptocurrency crackdown and slammed the sector for violating securities laws.
Zhao, a billionaire who is one of crypto's most powerful figures, said in a tweet on Friday: "Yes, there is turnover (at every company). But the reasons dreamed up by the "news" are completely wrong."
The move by Andreessen comes at a time when the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been cracking down on the crypto industry, suing cryptocurrency exchanges Coinbase and Binance last week for allegedly breaching its rules.
The U.S. government is expected to rush to sell short term debt to replenish its Treasury General Account, potentially at yields so high that banks raise deposit rates to compete for funding, reducing interest in riskier assets like equities.
