Gary Gensler currently serves as the Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the primary regulatory body responsible for overseeing securities markets in the United States. In this capacity, Gensler plays a significant role in shaping and enforcing regulations around digital currencies. Despite his academic background in blockchain and cryptocurrencies, Gensler's current stance is stringent. He views most cryptocurrencies as securities that should fall under the purview of the SEC, and advocates for crypto exchanges to register with the SEC. He has also called for clearer regulatory frameworks around crypto, stressing the need for investor protection and risk mitigation. His tenure has seen significant legal actions against major cryptocurrency exchanges for allegedly violating U.S. securities laws.
