Gary Gensler The Regulator or the Politician? Unmasking the Secrets Behind His Regulatory Persona

Gary Gensler A Politician Hiding Behind the Guise of a Regulator

Gensler’s Crypto War: An Epic Battle Filled with Lawsuits, Confusion, and Ambition

The nomination of the 33rd Chair of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Gary Gensler, on April 17, 2021, was viewed as a huge relief in the crypto space. Ah, the hope and joy that filled the air! Little did we know that this former Goldman Sachs Investment banker would turn against the crypto world, like a disillusioned hero seeking favors from the Oval Office.

In a recent article by Fortune, the Democratic congressman Ritchie Torres argued that Gensler is nothing more than a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a politician masquerading as a regulator. Ouch! That must sting for Gensler. And if that wasn’t enough, our dear Gensler has gone ahead and advocated for the crypto market to be regulated under laws that are as outdated as the floppy disks taking up space in your grandma’s attic. Talk about stifling web3 innovation! Oh, United States, please catch up to the rest of the world!

But fear not, fellow crypto enthusiasts, for Gensler’s grand plans have been slowed by lawsuits. Ah, the sweet taste of justice! Unable to work with Congress to formulate clear laws, Gensler decided to play around with the Howey test to regulate crypto assets, except for Bitcoin. Yes, Bitcoin, the golden child of crypto, managed to escape his regulatory grasp. Smart move, Bitcoin!

And let’s not forget about the Ripple Labs case, which promises to shed light on the future of crypto assets in the United States. The judge presiding over this case made a bold statement, ruling that XRP sales on centralized exchanges do not constitute investment contracts. Take that, Gensler! Oh, the joy in watching his plans crumble.

But wait, there’s more! The US SEC lost a case against Grayscale Investment, and suddenly the odds of a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) getting approved skyrocketed. It’s like watching the underdog rise to victory! Could this be the beginning of a new era for crypto in the United States?

However, amidst this chaos, confusion reigns supreme. The CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) and the SEC are engaged in a debate of epic proportions. Gensler argues that Bitcoin is a commodity, putting it under the CFTC’s jurisdiction, yet he continues to push for oversight. Now that’s like having one foot in the boxing ring and the other in the swimming pool! The poor CFTC is left scratching its head, wondering why Gensler can’t make up his mind. Talk about mixed signals!

And let’s not forget the insider trading case involving Coinbase Global Inc. The CFTC wanted to file its case, but the SEC swooped in and claimed jurisdiction. It’s like a scene out of a bad rom-com, with poor communication and low cooperation between the two agencies. Oh, what a mess!

As we peek into the future, we can’t help but wonder. Will Gensler survive the wrath of the lawmakers who vow to oust him? Will his ambitions for the Treasury secretary position destroy any hope of reconciliation with the crypto industry? Only time will tell, my dear crypto enthusiasts, only time will tell.

So, grab your popcorn, sit back, and let this epic battle unfold. The world of crypto will never be the same again!
