Gary Gensler, SEC Chair, in an interview with Bloomberg TV, discussed compliance issues in the crypto space and enforcement actions.

Gensler's Tenure: Scrutiny on Cryptocurrencies

Gary Gensler, about to leave SEC, outlined the challenges posed by the digital asset industry. Since taking office, he has overseen 100 enforcement actions targeting fraud and non-compliance with securities laws. According to him, most digital currencies meet the criteria for securities and should be regulated accordingly. “The crypto market is rife with bad actors,” Gensler stated.

Debunking the “Anti-Crypto” Label

Gensler faced criticism for his approach to the crypto industry. However, he rejected the anti-crypto label, referencing his academic background at MIT, where he studied and taught blockchain technology. “My role as SEC Chair is to ensure investor protection and market integrity,” he explained.

Investor Protection and Market Integrity

Gensler emphasized that his main goal is investor protection and maintaining market integrity. He noted that many crypto projects risk investors by operating outside legal bounds and relying more on market sentiment than fundamentals.

Defending his actions as SEC Chair, Gensler stressed the importance of crypto regulation for investor protection and market integrity.
