<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify"><a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/significant-development-for-bitcoin-inscription-services/" data-wpel-link="internal">Investment</a> bank <strong>TD Cowen</strong> suggests that following the agency’s recent victory in the insider trading case against <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/significant-loss-on-sui-ftx-suffers-a-setback-in-sui-transaction/" data-wpel-link="internal">Coinbase</a>, <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/bitcoin-price-recent-developments-and-future-predictions/" data-wpel-link="internal">SEC</a> Chairman Gary Gensler is expected to keep bringing crypto cases to the forefront. In a report published on March 4 by the TD Cowen Washington Research Group led by Jaret Seiberg, it was noted that Gensler wants to clarify the law through litigation before Congress creates a regulatory regime for crypto.</p> 
<h2 class="p1" style="text-align: justify" id="insightful-report-from-td-cowen">Insightful Report from TD Cowen</h2> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">According to TD Cowen, Gensler is expected to continue litigation at least for the next two years until his term ends in June 2026. Last week, a federal judge in the Western District Court of Washington ruled in favor of the SEC in the insider trading case.</p> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">The case involved former Coinbase product manager Ishan Wahi, his brother Nikhil Wahi, and their friend Sameer Ramani. While the Wahi brothers presented their defense, Ramani did not respond to the SEC’s complaint.</p> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">On March 1, Federal Judge Tana Lin issued a default judgment against Ramani for trading based on insider information regarding which assets Coinbase planned to list. Lin ruled that the case fell within the SEC’s jurisdiction because the crypto assets in question, even if traded on a secondary market like Coinbase, were considered securities. TD Cowen’s report included the following statement:</p> 
<blockquote> 
 <p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">“We see this as another win for the SEC. Every time judges articulate their interpretation of the law, it provides lawmakers with greater clarity on how to prepare market structure legislation.”</p> 
</blockquote>

<h2 class="p1" style="text-align: justify" id="the-us-and-the-crypto-industry">The US and the Crypto Industry</h2> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">TD Cowen stated that this aligns with Gensler’s objectives. While many criticize the SEC’s enforcement approach and expect the agency to provide clarity on compliance for tokens and exchanges, TD Cowen accepts this perspective and commented:</p> 
<blockquote> 
 <p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">“We believe it’s not really significant that the SEC hasn’t changed its course under Gensler’s leadership.”</p> 
</blockquote> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">TD Cowen concluded that Gensler’s anticipated actions could lead to more contradictory decisions before Congress finally addresses crypto market structure legislation. As previously discussed, US lawmakers are currently working on legislation focused on stablecoins and, more broadly, market structure. Last month, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen highlighted the risks associated with crypto platforms and stablecoins and called on Congress to enact legislation.</p>
