U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has intensified its scrutiny of crypto venture capital ( VC ) firms.
Ari Paul , Chief Investment Officer of BlockTower Capital , says that the SEC is investigating crypto VC firms for potentially acting as unregistered securities dealers.
Paul says some VCs are being offered tokens at a discount with the expectation that they will promote the token.
This turns them into investment bankers, effectively acting as securities dealers, he says.
