Donald Trump

Chair

Gary

Speaking at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Donald Trump just told a crowd of crypto enthusiasts that he would fire SEC Chair Gary Gensler on his first day in office.
The crowd, who had waited over an hour to hear him speak, welcomed his plan with cheers. Trump criticized Gensler’s approach to regulating the crypto industry, calling it hostile and counterproductive. In his words:
<blockquote>
 “The moment I’m sworn in, the persecution stops, and the weaponization ends against your industry.”
</blockquote>
Trump has <a href="https://rumble.com/v585q3u-live-president-trump-delivers-remarks-at-bitcoin-conference-in-nashville-72.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">promised</a> to appoint a new SEC chairman who would support the growth of the crypto market, not stifle it. He also mentioned creating a “Bitcoin and crypto presidential advisory council” to help guide his policies.

The current administration, under Gensler’s leadership, is widely considered too aggressive with its enforcement actions against major crypto firms like Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken.
Trump thinks that this approach has made the U.S. a less friendly place for crypto businesses, pushing innovation and investment overseas.
Since taking over the SEC, Gensler has been known for his strictness, often using what critics call “regulation-by-enforcement.”
This means instead of setting clear rules, the SEC under Gensler has been cracking down on companies after they act, leading to confusion and frustration.
Many in the industry feel like they’re walking on eggshells, unsure of what’s allowed and what’s not. The community thinks Gensler is biased against cryptocurrencies.

Critics argue that his actions have created a climate of fear, with companies worried about being the next target. Public figures in the space, like Tyler Winklevoss, have slammed Gensler publicly over this.
People like John Deaton and Mark Cuban even went as far as to predict that Gensler will cost Biden the election. They&nbsp;believe that a more supportive regulatory environment is crucial for the industry’s growth in the U.S.
Gary Gensler’s term as SEC Chair is supposed to last until 2026, but Trump’s statements have thrown that timeline into question.
If he wins the election, Gensler’s days at the SEC could be numbered. For now, the crypto community is left wondering what the future holds and whether Trump’s promises will lead to meaningful changes.
