Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban has voiced strong criticism at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in light of the FTX collapse. He argued that the SEC’s regulatory failures allowed the implosion of the once-prominent crypto exchange.&nbsp;
In contrast, he praised Japan’s proactive regulatory framework, positioning it as a model the U.S. should adopt to safeguard its crypto markets.

In a recent interview with Farokh Sarmad on Rug Radio, Cuban provided deeper insights into what he sees as key regulatory missteps. He shared that these missteps partly contributed to <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/ftx-bankruptcy-filing-reveals-exchanges-huge-debt/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FTX’s downfall</a> and similar crypto catastrophes in 2022.
In contrast, Vatalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, shared in 2022 that what had caused the <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/vitalik-buterin-talks-about-the-mayhem-caused-by-ftx-collapse/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FTX tragedy was putting faith in fiat procedures.&nbsp;</a>
Mark Cuban shared that the SEC must still establish clear and proactive rules for the crypto industry. This has left the industry vulnerable, allowing fraud and mismanagement to fester unchecked.&nbsp;
Instead, the regulatory agency was focused on enforcement through litigation. He notes that the SEC needs to provide a clear set of guidelines so businesses know how to operate and investors know what to expect.&nbsp;
Many key industry leaders share Cuban sentiments about the agency’s operation. In fact, last month, a US Congressman, Tom Emmer, called Gary Gensler, the<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/congressman-criticizes-gary-gensler-calls-him-most-destructive-in-secs-history/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> SEC’s Chairman, the most destructive in the agency’s history.&nbsp;</a>

Contrary to the SEC’s strategy, Cuban pointed to Japan as an example of effective cryptocurrency regulation. Since 2017, Japan has enforced a comprehensive digital asset framework under the Japanese Payment Services Act and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.&nbsp;
These regulations require crypto exchanges to meet stringent oversight standards, including clear asset segregation and stronger capital reserves.&nbsp;
Following the Coincheck hack in 2018, Japan further tightened its rules, which have since proven successful in maintaining financial stability in its crypto market.
Cuban lauded <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/japans-financial-regulator-pushes-for-lower-crypto-tax-in-2025-overhaul/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA)</a> for establishing clear rules that create trust and security in the volatile crypto sector.&nbsp;
Remarkably, the Japanese <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/japan-embraces-web3-ecosystem-innovation-for-local-vcs/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FSA focuses on investor protection and fosters innovation </a>by providing a well-defined regulatory path for crypto businesses.&nbsp;
This balance of protection and progress has attracted crypto exchanges, including Ripples and Binance, to expand their operations in the region.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The 2024 U.S. elections could significantly impact the future of cryptocurrency, with Donald Trump and Kamala Harris presenting contrasting approaches.&nbsp;
Trump is advocating for deregulation, aiming to position the U.S. as a global leader in blockchain technology. In contrast, Harris’s yet-to-be-defined policies could lean toward more cautious growth, ensuring stronger oversight but possibly at the cost of slowing down innovation.
As the election nears, the crypto community will likely align with the candidate whose vision best supports the industry’s growth.
