SEC Chairman Gary Gensler is on the hot seat as the Senate Banking Committee demands answers and clarity on a range of topics including the commission\u2019s ongoing investigations in the crypto space and Gensler\u2019s belief that cryptocurrencies should be regulated under the securities law.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Senate Banking Committee Grills Gensler<\/h2>\n

Gary Gensler, Chairman of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was cross-examined by the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday, September 12. The committee probed the SEC boss for clarification on the commission\u2019s <\/span>complex rules changes<\/span><\/a> and the ability of these new regulations to address future market failures.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the hearing, a Journalist at Fox Business, Eleanor Terrett, revealed in an X (formerly Twitter) <\/span>post<\/span><\/a> a list of key points from the hearing between SEC Chair Gary Gensler and the Senate Banking Committee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She stated that a variety of topics were discussed in the hearing, with <\/span>Artificial Intelligence<\/span><\/a> being the primary focus, while cryptocurrency was discussed on a small scale. Nevertheless, Terrett explained that the members of the committee brought to light Gensler\u2019s rule-making pace, and his aggressive pursuit of crypto firms in the industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Republican members of the committee mostly questioned Gensler on his activities in the crypto industry. Some members felt he was encouraging a turbulent environment in the crypto space by enacting new rules and regulations at an excessively fast pace. However, other members felt he was not putting enough effort into positioning the crypto industry under the commission\u2019s heel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gensler responded by saying that the US SEC was enacting rules and regulations at a determined pace much slower than the committee\u2019s previous Chairs. As an example, Gensler explained that he provided the public with a sufficient timeline of 70 days to make comments on the commission\u2019s most recent securities rule which involved climate change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked about approvals for <\/span>Grayscale\u2019s spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/span><\/a>, Gensler avoided making any solid statements. However, he emphasized the <\/span>importance of securities law in regulating digital assets<\/span><\/a> like cryptocurrency and protecting investors in the crypto industry from fraud and risks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think at the heart of our securities laws is protecting investors against fraud. They get to decide. They get to take the risk. I’m not negative or minimalist about crypto. I just think it would be best if it’s inside the investor protection regime that Congress laid out,\u201d Gensler stated in the hearing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
