Gary Gensler’s Anti-Crypto Comment

The crypto community, especially the XRP lawyers, continues to criticize SEC Chair Gary Gensler for his anti-crypto stance, particularly in light of recent remarks highlighting the issue of public disclosure avoidance among crypto firms. Notably, Gensler’s comments, made during a speech on securities disclosures, singled out the crypto industry for seeking to evade registration requirements with the SEC, emphasizing the importance of mandatory disclosure for investor protection.

Meanwhile, the SEC has several ongoing legal battles with prominent crypto players like Ripple, Coinbase, and others. The focus on the ongoing Ripple Vs. SEC battle further intensifies with the recent remarks from the XRP lawyers.

Besides, the SEC is actively pursuing enforcement actions against companies like Coinbase and Binance for alleged failure to register securities. In addition, the second largest crypto by market cap, Ethereum is potentially under investigation for classification as a security.

Meanwhile, Gensler’s emphasis on registration underscores the regulator’s commitment to regulating the crypto market, a sentiment that may soon face practical tests as firms like Prometheum prepare to enter the space as approved special-purpose crypto broker-dealers.
