SEC’s Gensler Claims More Crypto Turf in Washington as Dissent Dithers – Bloomberg

By Securities Docket on July 11, 2023, 8:10 am

The tide was supposed to turn when Republicans gained control over the House last November. Finally, the thinking went, there would be restraints on the SEC chief.

Where Was Biden’s SEC Sheriff on Sam Bankman-Fried? – WSJ

By Securities Docket on December 19, 2022, 9:26 am

That FTX hadn’t registered with the SEC doesn’t let Mr. Gensler off the hook. For months he’s claimed to have authority over crypto and warned about self-dealing at their exchanges.

Is Gensler to blame for the FTX crash or did it vindicate him? – Protocol

By Securities Docket on November 16, 2022, 9:27 am

But the attacks on Gensler have been met with intense pushback from other industry observers who stress a different argument: The FTX crash actually proves that Gensler’s approach to crypto was correct. By embracing what the crypto industry denounced as unreasonable and rigid policies, Gensler actually minimized the harm the FTX meltdown had on U.S. […]

SEC’s Gensler Holds Firm That Existing Laws Make Sense for Crypto

By Securities Docket on September 14, 2022, 7:46 am

SEC Chair Gary Gensler: They don’t just resemble securities, they are securities. Thurgood Marshall, a great Supreme Court Justice, wrote in an opinion – and I think it was in the 1970s – that the Congress painted with a broad brush to protect the public when somebody is raising money from the public and the […]

Where Are the (Crypto) Lawyers? | LinkedIn

By Securities Docket on November 12, 2021, 8:12 am

It’s Déjà vu all over again at the SEC. At the 2021 SEC Enforcement Forum, Chair Gary Gensler of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), seized the opportunity to admonish the rising crop of self-anointed fintech lawyers who too often advise their clients on how to circumvent U.S. securities laws — as opposed to […]
