MAJOR CHANGES: Crypto Task Force Details [Trump].
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey make sure you stay to the end where
we talk about how cryptocurrencies might
soon be divided into two classes and
what it means for you hey everyone me
Kevin here we got to talk about this
major announcement of an SEC task force
for cryptocurrencies and what it means
for you especially if you are interested
in cryptocurrencies but frankly even if
you are not now I have a pretty
extensive background when it comes to
Securities given that I've gone through
not only Series 7 licensing but also the
hard ones with finro to regulate
compliance for a broker dealer the
series 24 the 27 the 14 you name it so
I've sort of lived in SEC land and feral
land for quite a while and that's
basically where crypto is now going to
go under a Donald Trump announced crypto
task force where the now interim head of
the SEC has been assigned with
establishing this tax for task force on
behalf of Donald Trump so with that said
what I'd like to do is take a sip of
this coffee uh and then go through what
this means for you as a retail customer
but then also what this means for the
broker dealers and uh how we might
actually start being able to do actual
fundamental analysis on cryptocurrency
this is a game Cher and I'm talking more
than hash rates for Bitcoin okay uh this
is a game changer for crypto and I'm
really excited to talk about so let's
take a swig of this and uh this is we're
going to be doing a lot of fundamental
analysis on this channel on
cryptocurrencies this is going to be
really fun and we'll be doing it in the
trumponomics course as well uh by the
way I feel a little under the weather so
I I haven't expired the coupon yet it's
going to I'm probably going to do that
today at about 4:00 when I get home from
bowling with the kids might be closer to
5:00 so you still have a little bit of
time if you want to go to meet Kevin and
uh check that out meetkevin.com you can
see everything on the tromics course
okay so let's first start with retail
customer what does it mean that there's
going to be a crypto task force is this
good or is it
bad that's actually very good uh in my
opinion uh what this means uh is that a
security or in this case a
cryptocurrency which if it's regulated
by the SEC will be considered a security
uh will require registration uh when a
security gets registered a few
protections get triggered uh first you
have to have a disclosure of all of the
beneficial insiders at the company so uh
or you know at uh in charge of this
token or coin if you will so in other
words the organizers are going to have
to disclose themselves they'll probably
not only have to disclose who they are
where they are uh any kind of legal
disclosures they have to protect
themselves from lawsuits so if they've
been sued for fraud before because they
rug pulled someone they're going to have
to make that disclosure right so you're
going to see a historical disclosure
list of the people who are actually
founding these tokens or coins or who
are the Insiders basically I wouldn't be
surprised if they also require some form
form of basically board where they say
okay here are your internal Executives
here's maybe a board maybe there's even
a requirement that one or two of the
board members have to be an
independent uh uh board member in order
to actually qualify for registration
with the security Exchange Commission
this would mean that Outsiders or
independent Outsiders quote unquote they
could be friends or buddies right uh but
just basically people that aren't being
paid by those insiders uh with the
exception of disclosed board member
compensation those individuals would
basically put their reputation on these
tokens or coins with all of their
related disclosures so now all of a
sudden what you have is
basically a whole list of everybody
who's involved on the inside so when
there's let's say a trump token that
launches you know okay what position
does David saxs have you know all
Holdings over 5% for example would also
likely have to be disclosed so you know
did David saaks get a little 10% you
know Insider uh boost for his uh Trump
token Holdings did Donald Trump at 50%
you know like how we can we can try to
backwards this by looking at some of the
largest established wallets but you know
as with the Trump token there were a lot
of wallets where all of a sudden we're
like how come there are sales popping up
but we never saw them buy any well cuz
they were established insiders and they
were basically just issued uh you know
their their share if you will all of
that would have to be disclosed and we'd
have to know exactly what their wallet
addresses are but also likely their
identities so more than just a wallet
address you'd have to have wallet
address and identity which really gives
you an opportunity then to kind of
follow somebody unless of course they're
like tornado caching follow somebody
through cryptocurrency it becomes
extremely and the world of crypto it
becomes very transparent if you will for
who insiders are in the world of crypto
uh which in my opinion is uh is is
pretty wild uh
so uh let's see here oh oh yeah okay so
what what does this mean for you well uh
it probably is actually going to be
really good from the point of view of
like legal protection because if let's
say HW Tua goes in with her cohort or
five or six friends or whatever and or
the people who approached her and said
hey you should do the Haka
coin we're going to know who everybody
was on the inside it's not going to be a
random crypto address so when there's a
rugging you know who to send the lawsuit
to now that's intense because all of a
sudden those initial wallets are going
to be linked to a person which is going
to actually make it a lot harder to rug
someone now obviously HW Tua we know who
she is but we don't know who everybody
else involved is right they could be
anonymous wallet addresses with fake
names that were you know working with
her over Zoom or whatever uh and you
never have any identity verification so
how could you possibly sue them you
can't so really what you're getting is
is with a registration of a security
you're going to get a very very very
transparent ownership regime which will
then unlock a whole new world a whole
new see it's a little under the weather
so I can't sing uh not that you want me
to anyway um for cryptocurrency lawsuits
from attorneys so like if you want to
become an attorney
now to to like prepare for what is
coming uh how do I hear like law hack
out
there uh and uh you know it's like your
cryptocurrency Law Firm I got to go byy
that domain that's a good one uh anyway
so now what you've got to do is you ask
yourself okay cool so again what benefit
does that have for you well the benefit
for you is there's a lower chance that
you're going to get rugged for example
when I do a fund raise for house hack
which we've got the reg a coming up soon
that has to go through a qualification
process with Security and Exchange
Commission like you basically have to
get naked with the SEC and the whole
point is so that like you don't a screw
somebody but if you do they know how to
come after you and they just like ban
you from the industry and from ever
being able to do anything again that's
you know part of why me like personally
I've I've always been like oh my gosh
just I'm like I'm about to turn 33 I got
a long career ahead you know I I I could
make a great stock pick I can make a bad
stock pick but if you just do something
that makes people question your integ
you're screwed for a long time you know
it's really bad and so my goal is always
to just be here and be like look I just
I'm going to do my best I'm going to
make mistakes uh like decision mistakes
but I don't want anybody to question my
Integrity so that's why I try to teach
my kids too all seven of
them okay so this is really interesting
it gives you this rugging protection I
also think there'll probably be like
some regulations around like hey you're
not allowed to rug but you'll also
probably have lockup periods right uh so
Insider who do an initial uh coin
offering like a a registered so like an
R Ico a registered inter uh initial coin
offering like an
IPO they uh would probably only get
through the qualification process or the
registration process with the SEC if
there are certain investor protections
embedded in those we don't know yet what
those are going to look like I just
expect that we're going to have a lot of
information on Insider information based
on the existing Securities framework
that we have but then also some
additional protections on how to prevent
rugging so in other words look if you
don't put you don't have to do this for
stocks you don't have to put in the
lockup when you IPO a stock most people
do though most uh people who IPO they
put in like 180-day lockup you know six-
Monon lockup right uh that usually isn't
required it's just so common practice
that it's probably going to happen in
crypto as well so now you'd have a 180
day period before let's say you know the
Insiders of the Trump token or whatever
can start dump dumping on you which
they've already started dumping right at
least what we're seeing not saying
everybody is I'm not saying Trump is I'm
just saying somebody who never bought is
already dumping and there are others
okay so now what does this mean from the
broker dealer side well the broker
dealer side is actually a little bit
easier excuse me on the broker dealer
side once registered once a filing is
registered guess what this means there
are now public documents that a broker
dealer like Robin Hood or any registered
broker dealer right because coinbase for
example isn't a registered broker dealer
they'd have to become a broker dealer
they're a crypto exchange they're not a
broker dealer Robin Hood is a broker
dealer because Rob there's Robin Hood
and Robin Hood crypto Robin Hood cry
crypto is not a broker dealer Robin Hood
is a broker dealer so the two different
entities um have the different
regulatory licenses but now if crypto is
going to get sucked into the broker
dealer Work World Robin Hood already has
the established INF structure for that
which is huge and gives Robin Hood a
huge leg up now once registered uh
public filings will be available uh so
you will be able to look up an initial
filing like an S1 we be able to look up
all of the uh the Insiders information
The Insider trades that happen when the
Insiders are dumping when the Insiders
are buying when institutions are taking
a larger stake or reducing their stake
you know usually above or below 10 or 5%
right we'll get to see all of that
which is great all of those filings will
show up on likely every token or coin
we'll have a website uh and uh and
there'll be some sort of like investor
relations page where you could get these
filings or you just go to the sec.gov
website and pull it up through what's
called Edgar their filing system okay
but what else does this mean well it
also gives you protections as a consumer
that now your broker dealer isn't doing
funny things with the money they're
lending you so for example let's say you
deposit one $100,000 of cash into a
broker dealer uh and then you're allowed
to borrow stocks up to say 50% reg te
margin that's your initial margin in
English basically you could go borrow
you could use margin you have your 100K
cash use margin to borrow another
$100,000 of stock borrowed in this case
it could be crypto borrowed right so you
deposit 100K you could go borrow another
100K and buy Bitcoin let's say if you
want right or whatever Trump whatever
you want okay cool now you have $200,000
of equity well the broker dealer can
lend to somebody else up to 140% via
regulation you against the crypto you
borrowed so in other words they could
turn around to somebody else and lend
out another
$140,000 in margin lending to somebody
else but that's the max that's the cap
so your account has $200,000 of equity
the broker dealer can lend $140 ,000
that buffer is designed to give the
broker dealer some protection from
basically going bankrupt because they
gave away or lent out too much of the
money you deposited in this case there's
still a $660,000 buffer they lend 140
but your account has a value of
200,000 right so this this is all very
very useful and then there are also
minimums like you know if your Equity
portion Goes Down Under 25% well you're
going to get Margin Call and you're
going to have to pay off that margin so
this way on both sides margin for the
customer regulation T margin for the
lender regulation you all of a sudden
the broker dealer is regulated and
there's a lower chance I'm not saying
they can't go bus but there's a lower
chance that the broker dealer goes bust
like I don't know anybody ever heard of
FTX that's a disaster that's an example
of an unregulated exchange having no
policies around what they can do with
the deposits that they have or or the
loans that they have and all of a sudden
when you need the money the money's gone
see a broker dealer isn't actually
allowed to lend out your cash that
$100,000 cash has to go into a separate
account if you look up a Robin Hood
financial statement right now you'll
actually see cash segregated segregated
cash what is that segregated cash it's
money that sits in that account and is
available for immediate withdrawal so if
that broker dealer goes bankrupt guess
what you could go to the bank that is
custody your money because Robin Hood is
not a bank and you could ask for your
$100,000 back from the bank you don't
even have to go through Robin Hood
because you're listed as a beneficial
recipient of that $100,000 of cash Robin
Hood can't do jack anything with that
cash yeah I think there are some like
ways they can uh you know uh well this
is why they want you to put it into
their cash sweep account with which then
uh makes you eligible for yield and so
they kind of play the game with this a
little bit that gets a little bit more
complicated but the point is from a
broker dealer cash that hasn't been
swept to a yield bearing account cash
that just sits there is a protected item
and it has to be segregated and so again
this protects you from a an exchange or
well an exchange will probably be
separated that's another thing a broker
dealer going BK okay so this brings up
the whole exchange aspect you know how
there's the New York stock exchange and
how the New York Stock Exchange isn't
the same thing as Robin Hood where you
get to basically interface with the
exchange through like when you go swipe
up on a New York Stock Exchange listed
stock you're doing it through Robin Hood
or Fidelity well that's basically you
putting an input into a broker dealer
the broker dealer putting the input into
let's say the NASDAQ or the NY system
the New York Stock Exchange system and
putting in an order that then market
makers at these exchanges can fulfill
and then you get your trade confirmation
back and the broker dealer is
responsible for making sure you're
getting the security you promised you
gave Robin Hood $20,000 you bought
$220,000 worth of Tesla stock they're
going to make sure you got your $220,000
worth of Tesla stock certificates and
they'll hold them electronically usually
in what's called book entry record which
is basically just they put your name on
a spreadsheet right and they verify that
all of this is correct and then Robin
Hood is regulated by this agency called
finra the one where I was talking with
all the licenses about and that agency
is responsible for basically
investigating Robin Hood all the
freaking time to make sure that Robin
Hood is actually making sure you have
your share certificates that they're not
violating these percentages so like the
regulatory infrastructure is there it's
really really really really really
complicated like this is why you keep
seeing Banks and broker dealers get
fined all the freaking time because it's
almost impossible to follow all of the
rules perfect ly like if you
accidentally let's say you work at Robin
Hood and you accidentally text a
customer on your phone you need to like
screenshot that text message send an
email or somehow electronically document
that and move that conversation to
somewhere that is documented so if
otherwise big fines so like all of that
sort of Regulation is all designed to
protect the customer now a lot of people
usually hear regulation they say that's
bad but again it prevents The Exchange
from going going bankrupt the broker
dealer from going bankrupt and the
customer from getting rug pulled so this
is where we get to the fundamental
analysis aspect where once all of this
framework is in place then any Ico that
is registered or or coin or token that
becomes registered we can look and go
okay who truly are all of the Insiders
of hex coin or whatever right who are
the Insiders where do they live do they
have any licenses you know what Insider
connections do they have who else has
ownership who is legally responsible who
do I sue if this goes
bad all of those things are now in
public filings which we can now do
fundamental analysis on because now the
promises these tokens or coins are
making aren't just on a website that
gets edited but rather they are in
public filings that sit there forever
it's kind of interesting so I am
fascinated to see where we can go with
all of what is happening and I think
it's quite frankly really really
exciting now in the short term Bitcoin
has moved up on this announcement uh if
you look at Bitcoin right now we are
sitting at uh
1065 which is definitely up from the
announcement uh this morning we were
trading a chunk lower yeah we were down
over here uh this morning at the 102
line and you can see we've certainly
shot up uh after some of this news which
is great uh now the question is how soon
can we expect this sort of Regulation
and the answer to this folks not soon it
is going to take a while for them to put
together all of this anti- rug pulling
framework and everything else so hold
your horses it's going to take some time
this also means you likely are going to
have two classes of
cryptocurrencies registered and
unregistered and it opens the whole door
to is everything that's unregistered
okay and are those kind of just going to
be treated like you know off exchange
currencies uh and everything that is
registered is that going to have more
interest like in other words if a hawk
Tua is like I got a new meme token
people are going to be like did you
register it and if not then it's going
to potentially look more scammy and
risky than something that's registered
which could still be problematic but at
least might be legally registered so I'm
not saying you can't still get the moon
moonshots because just the nature of
cryptocurrencies there's usually very
little liquidity so when the order book
pumps up a meme token or any kind of
token or coin or whatever you Skyrocket
in valuation very very quickly because
you're taking a small slice that you're
selling to high demand and you're making
the rest of the pie worth a lot with
very little available Supply that can
still happen registered or not but
you'll end up having two classes and I
suspect attorneys are going to make a
lot of money filing these things and
you're going to end up with two classes
of cryptocurrencies uh I my guess is to
put together all of this regulatory
framework as soon as possible will set
us up for the earliest actual registered
Ico in
2026 that's my guess give them about a
year to get this done cuz that is a lot
and broker dealers and exchanges have to
get ready for that as well they have to
get registered honestly there might even
be new licensing like the series 69
license for cryptocurrencies and crypto
trading that you have to get and then
the series you know
420 for options trading I don't know
anyway thank you so much for being here

perspective go to meetkevin.com check
