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.
