Pro-XRP attorney John Deaton said XRP fans were seen asking relevant and well-planned questions at the event, but he could still sense a sense of concern in their queries: "I wouldn't classify their excitement as fear but rather frustration that it shouldn't be that difficult or take that long to achieve regulatory clarity in the United States.โ€
Deaton further said that SEC Chairman Gary Gensler's โ€œregulation by enforcementโ€ approach to cryptocurrencies was the reason for his frustration.
Regulation appears to be the top priority even for Australia's crypto community and was the main point of discussion at a recent Binance Australia meeting that took place on May 3.
Ben Rose, general manager of Binance Australia and New Zealand, said that another point that drew a lot of attention was the "crypto tax" and that the bear market did not deter attendees from continuing to be curious about the various aspects of cryptocurrencies. .
