Crypto Expert: The US SEC Wasn’t the Cause for Downturn

noticed two significant things. The first is that the cryptocurrency market is down on its knees, throwing the entire industry into confusion. Secondly, cryptocurrency advocates are pointing to two factors as the cause of the bear market, Bitcoin Cash hard fork and the US SEC. However, a crypto analyst has spoken up in defense of the US regulator.
