Kraken Intensifies Legal Battle with SEC, Requests Jury Trial for Ongoing Lawsuit
Sep 19, 2024 at 10:36 pm
The lawsuit was filed by the SEC in November 2023 and accused Kraken of violating federal securities laws. This comes after a judge ruled in August that the case against Kraken should be heard along with other large crypto exchanges such as Binance and Coinbase.
Perusahaan pertukaran mata uang kripto terkemuka, Kraken, telah meningkatkan pertarungan hukumnya dengan Komisi Sekuritas dan Bursa Amerika Serikat (SEC) dengan meminta pengadilan juri dalam gugatan yang sedang berlangsung. Gugatan tersebut diajukan oleh SEC pada November 2023 dan menuduh Kraken telah melanggar undang-undang sekuritas federal. Ini terjadi setelah hakim memutuskan pada bulan Agustus bahwa kasus melawan Kraken harus disidangkan bersama dengan bursa kripto besar lainnya seperti Binance dan Coinbase.
Leading cryptocurrency exchange company Kraken has escalated its legal battle with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by requesting a jury trial in the ongoing lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed by the SEC in November 2023 and accuses Kraken of violating federal securities laws. This comes after a judge ruled in August that the case against Kraken should be heard along with other large crypto exchanges such as Binance and Coinbase.
Menurut gugatan SEC, Kraken telah membaurkan hingga $ 33 miliar dalam aset pelanggan dan telah meraup ratusan juta dolar dalam bentuk biaya dari pembelian dan penjualan aset kripto yang diklaim SEC sebagai sekuritas. Khususnya, regulator menyebut beberapa mata uang kripto, termasuk Algorand (ALGO), Solana (SOL), dan Cardano (ADA), sebagai sekuritas dalam klaimnya.
According to the SEC lawsuit, Kraken has impersonated up to $33 billion in customer assets and has reaped hundreds of millions of dollars in fees from buying and selling crypto assets that the SEC claims are securities. Notably, the regulator named several cryptocurrencies, including Algorand (ALGO), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA), as securities in its claims.
Kraken Membantah Klaim SEC dan Menantang Otoritas Regulator
Kraken Denies SEC Claims and Challenges Regulatory Authority
Kraken membantah keras tuduhan SEC, mengklaim bahwa bursa tidak pernah berpartisipasi dalam bisnis yang salah. Pembelaan platform hukum didasarkan pada analisis Undang-Undang Sekuritas dan Undang-Undang Pertukaran, di mana platform mengklaim bahwa tidak ada undang-undang yang mengatur aset digital. Kraken mengatakan bahwa tidak ada persyaratan hukum untuk mendaftar ke SEC karena Kraken bukanlah bursa, broker, atau lembaga kliring sebagaimana didefinisikan oleh undang-undang ini.
Kraken strongly denied the SEC's allegations, claiming that the exchange never participated in any wrongful business. The platform's legal defense is based on an analysis of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, where the platform claims that there are no laws governing digital assets. Kraken says that there is no legal requirement to register with the SEC because Kraken is not an exchange, broker, or clearinghouse as defined by these laws.
Selain itu, perwakilan hukum Kraken telah menargetkan aplikasi SEC dari Howey Test, yang merupakan tes hukum untuk membedakan keamanan. Pertukaran lebih lanjut mencatat bahwa aset digital yang menyediakan layanan pembuatan pasar bukanlah kontrak investasi karena tidak memiliki hak dan tanggung jawab yang sama dengan berinvestasi dalam sekuritas seperti saham atau obligasi. Pembelaan Kraken juga menyatakan bahwa SEC tidak memiliki wewenang atas perusahaan dan tindakan penegakan hukum adalah penggunaan yurisdiksi yang berlebihan.
Additionally, Kraken's legal representatives have targeted the SEC's application of the Howey Test, which is a legal test to differentiate securities. The exchange further notes that digital assets that provide market making services are not investment contracts as they do not have the same rights and responsibilities as investing in securities such as stocks or bonds. Kraken's defense also states that the SEC has no authority over the company and the enforcement action is an excessive use of its jurisdiction.
Gugatan SEC terhadap Kraken merupakan kelanjutan dari strategi penegakan hukum serupa yang telah menargetkan platform mata uang kripto lainnya. Pada bulan Juni 2023, SEC menggugat Binance dan Coinbase dan menuduh perusahaan-perusahaan tersebut melanggar undang-undang sekuritas karena kurangnya pendaftaran sebagai pialang, bursa, atau lembaga kliring.
The SEC's lawsuit against Kraken is a continuation of similar enforcement strategies that have targeted other cryptocurrency platforms. In June 2023, the SEC sued Binance and Coinbase and accused the companies of violating securities laws due to their lack of registration as brokers, exchanges, or clearinghouses.
Komisi ini juga menuduh Kraken terlibat dalam aktivitas yang melanggar hukum dan gagal mendaftarkan layanannya seperti yang diwajibkan oleh undang-undang federal. Senator AS Cynthia Lummis juga mendukung Kraken, mengecam SEC, dan menyerukan peraturan kripto yang jelas dan ringkas untuk menghindari regulasi yang berlebihan.
The commission also accused Kraken of engaging in unlawful activity and failing to register its services as required by federal law. US Senator Cynthia Lummis also supported Kraken, blasted the SEC, and called for clear and concise crypto regulations to avoid over-regulation.
Pertemuan Hukum Kraken Sebelumnya dengan SEC Membentuk Pertahanan Saat Ini
Kraken's Previous Legal Encounters with SEC Shape Current Defense
Ini bukan pertama kalinya Kraken terlibat dalam pertarungan hukum dengan SEC. Pengadilan sebelumnya menolak mosi untuk membatalkan gugatan tersebut, memaksa bursa untuk melanjutkan pembelaannya. Pengacara Kraken telah menunjukkan bahwa SEC telah gagal memberikan rincian yang cukup untuk membuktikan bahwa bursa tersebut melanggar undang-undang sekuritas.
This is not the first time Kraken has been involved in a legal battle with the SEC. The court previously denied a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, forcing the exchange to continue its defense. Kraken's lawyers have pointed out that the SEC has failed to provide enough details to prove that the exchange violated securities laws.
Sikap tegas Kraken dalam menghadapi tuduhan SEC berbeda dengan pendekatan yang diambil oleh bursa mata uang kripto lainnya. Misalnya, eToro baru-baru ini menandatangani perjanjian dengan SEC, di mana ia setuju untuk membatasi pelanggan AS untuk hanya berdagang Bitcoin, Ethereum, dan Bitcoin Cash dan membayar denda $ 1.5 juta. Kraken telah memilih untuk membela tuduhan di pengadilan daripada melakukan penyelesaian dengan penggugat.
Kraken's firm stance in the face of SEC allegations is different from the approach taken by other cryptocurrency exchanges. For example, eToro recently signed an agreement with the SEC, in which it agreed to restrict US customers to only trading Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Bitcoin Cash and pay a $1.5 million fine. Kraken has chosen to defend the allegations in court rather than settle with the plaintiffs.
