Donald Trump

President Donald Trump

Tyler Winklevoss, co-founder of crypto exchange Gemini, has urged the United States government to clarify who will lead the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) before the upcoming election. 
In a detailed post on X on July 26, Winklevoss expressed his concerns about the Biden-Harris administration’s approach to the crypto industry 
Winklevoss, along with his brother Cameron, was reportedly invited to the White House but later uninvited after endorsing Donald Trump. He sees this as a sign of the administration’s unwillingness to engage with the crypto industry. 
“The Biden-Harris Administration had an opportunity to try and reset the relationship with the crypto industry this week,” Winklevoss stated, urging for transparency and stability in SEC leadership to foster biartisan support for crypto.

 In June, <a href="https://twitter.com/cameron?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@cameron</a> and I were invited to a crypto round table in DC with the White House in attendance.

The call for clarity comes amid ongoing controversies surrounding current SEC Chair Gary Gensler, whose term runs until June 2026. Gensler’s tenure has been marked by decisions and statements that many in the crypto community view as hostile.&nbsp; 
Winklevoss insists that the industry deserves to know if a change in leadership is imminent, emphasizing, “No more guessing. No more hoping. No more surprises. Our industry should not tolerate any possibility of a repeat of the last 4 years.” 
While highlighting the importance of bipartisan alignment, Winklevoss stressed that demanding action before the election is a non-partisan stance. He also expressed a desire for politicians to distance themselves from crypto events, hoping for a future where the industry is mainstream and no longer a topic of debate.&nbsp;

 My hope is that in the not-too-distant future there are no politicians at any Bitcoin or crypto conferences. Not because they are not welcome, but because crypto is so universally accepted that it is no longer a campaign issue and therefore would be a waste of their time. Like going to a conference on whether or not email or the Internet should be legal or allowed <cite>Tyler Winklevoss</cite>

This particular comment from Winklevoss coincided with the ongoing Bitcoin2024 conference in Nashville, where political figures like Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Senator Cynthia Lummis, and Senator Tim Scott addressed attendees.&nbsp; 
Former President Donald Trump is set to headline the event on July 27, further underscoring the intersection of cryptocurrency and politics.
