Gary Gensler’s Farewell to the SEC? Crypto Regulation at a Crossroads 🚨
SEC Chair Gary Gensler has once again urged the crypto industry to follow federal policies, emphasizing that most cryptocurrencies (excluding Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins) fall under securities laws. Speaking at the Practicing Law Institute’s conference, Gensler’s comments sounded like a potential farewell as his SEC role may be uncertain under the upcoming pro-crypto Trump administration.
🔍 Key Points:
1. Gensler’s Stance: He continues to push for crypto compliance, asserting that over 10,000 cryptocurrencies should be treated as securities. 2. Political Shift: With Trump’s pledge to fire Gensler on Day 1, a new SEC chair may be on the horizon, potentially shifting U.S. crypto policy. 3. Potential Replacements: Robinhood’s CLO Dan Gallagher and SEC commissioner Hester Peirce are speculated to be in line for the role.

🚀 Bitcoin Surges to New Highs – What’s Driving the Momentum?
Bitcoin just hit an all-time high of $93,400 following the latest U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, which showed a 2.6% inflation rate for October. This positive response may be just the start, as two key U.S. reports this week could shape the next market moves.
🌐 Global Market Snapshot
• The crypto market cap briefly topped $3.2 trillion before a slight pullback. • However, total trading volume dropped by 5%, now hovering around $400 billion.
