Gary Gensler's Legacy: How the Approach to Crypto Regulation Changed

Gary Gensler's tenure as the head of the SEC in the US was marked by active enforcement actions in crypto regulation. His term left a significant impact on the industry.

SEC and Crypto Regulations

Despite teaching blockchain courses at MIT, expectations for positive crypto regulations were unmet. Instead, Gensler focused on strict measures and skeptical rhetoric. The SEC's lawsuits and actions against crypto firms showcased a much harsher approach.

Bitcoin ETF Approval

Towards the end of his term, Gensler approved Bitcoin spot ETFs for 2024, partly due to court pressure. While seen as a positive step for the industry, it was noted that Gensler didn't exhibit a voluntary regulatory stance toward these funds.

Industry Reactions

Gensler described the crypto industry as a 'wild west' and emphasized the need for companies to register with the SEC. Leaders like Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse considered this approach impractical. Gensler's statements received criticism, creating a negative atmosphere contrary to industry expectations.

With Gensler's departure from the SEC, the impact he left on the crypto sector and the speculation about future regulations remain pressing topics. The policies future leaders adopt will be a significant question given the sector's dynamic nature.
