U.S. regulatory landscape just got more interesting. FCC Chair Brendan Carr is now claiming the agency isn't truly an independent government body—a statement that directly contradicts what he's said publicly before and what the FCC itself states on its official channels. This shift in narrative raises questions about regulatory clarity in the industry. When top officials start redefining institutional roles, market participants and compliance teams definitely need to pay attention. The implications for how U.S. digital asset regulations evolve could be substantial.

Karl's move this time is really amazing. He said independence just now and then denied it right after. Isn't that nonsense? With the regulators messing around like this, our compliant days are going to be very tough.

Haha, FCC Chairman is now starting to self-deny? This logical chain is really brilliant. Clapping for oneself, regulatory agencies are starting to play word games... Compliance teams should be crying. The US government's "Schrödinger's independent agency" is really brilliant. Can someone explain what exactly is going on? Officials redefine the rules, and we redefine compliance costs... Interesting. We've been calling for regulatory transparency for so long, but now it's becoming more and more opaque. Laughing to death. Isn't this just leaving a backup plan for the market? So they can turn hostile when the time comes.

Good grief, you can even say your own words backwards? What is FCC playing at... The regulators really need to keep a close eye on this move, it might change again.

Carl, this guy, has changed his tune again... Whether FCC is truly independent or not, we can't figure it out, so how can we ensure compliance?

Carl, this guy is really outrageous. He can even say the opposite of what he means? Now he wants to manage digital assets? That's hilarious.

Brother Carl is inconsistent. The statement about whether FCC is independent or not has changed, and regulation is really becoming more and more difficult.
