<p>Winklevoss emphasized the need for voters to know who the next Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will be before voting in November, arguing that this clarity is crucial for making crypto a bipartisan issue.</p>

<p>Winklevoss urged the Biden-Harris administration to unwind what he described as “four years of terror” and take significant steps in the 101 days remaining before the November elections.</p>
<p>He further argued that the SEC’s leadership is vital for maintaining market stability and effective regulatory oversight, especially in the rapidly evolving landscape of cryptocurrencies and digital assets.</p>
<p>Winklevoss also added that his hope is that in the future, politicians would no longer need to attend Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-price/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) or crypto <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/conference/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">conferences</a> because the acceptance of crypto would be so universal that it would no longer be a campaign issue. He called on the crypto industry to “demand that both parties embrace our industry, treat it fairly, and do everything in their power to ensure that America is the best home in the world for crypto.”</p>

<p>Since his appointment in 2021, <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/gary-gensler/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Gary Gensler</a>, the current SEC Chair, whose term ends in June 2026, has faced criticism for his approach to cryptocurrency regulation.</p>
<p>Gensler’s <a href="https://crypto.news/gary-gensler-crypto-warning-bitcoin-etf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">aggressive</a> stance toward fraudulent practices in the crypto industry has drawn reactions from various stakeholders. He has argued that most cryptocurrencies fall under the SEC’s jurisdiction as securities, subjecting them to strict regulations.</p>
<p>This position has led to legal battles with major crypto firms like <a href="https://crypto.news/coinbase-vs-sec-judge-scrutinizes-90-year-old-securities-act/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinbase</a> and <a href="https://crypto.news/live/ripple-vs-sec/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ripple</a>. Gensler critics contend that his regulation-by-enforcement approach hinders innovation and creates regulatory uncertainty in the rapidly evolving crypto space. The approach has <a href="https://crypto.news/cftc-chair-crypto-assets-commodities-regulation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">raised</a> concerns about the SEC’s perceived inflexibility and the potential for overreach.</p>
<p>The ongoing criticism and legal challenges highlight the complexities of Gensler’s regulatory plans, creating an unpredictable future for the SEC under his leadership.</p>
<p>As Gensler’s term progresses, the SEC’s regulatory actions and legal battles with crypto firms are expected to continue shaping the industry’s future.&nbsp;</p>
