In a recent discussion, Sheila Warren, CEO of the Crypto Council for Innovation, addressed the potential implications if Vice President Kamala Harris were to win the presidential election in November. In an interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJ83cCHfdXI" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Paul Barron Network,</a> when asked about the future of Senator Elizabeth Warren’s position on the Senate Banking Committee and the fate of SEC Chair Gary Gensler, Warren clarified a few points.
Firstly, she said that the SEC is supposed to be an independent, non-partisan agency. However, under Gensler’s leadership, it has become increasingly politicized, a development that has frustrated many across various industries, not just within the cryptocurrency sector. This shift in the SEC’s role has made Gensler unpopular among a broad range of industry players, including exchanges and other financial entities, who feel victimized by his aggressive regulatory stance.
Warren speculated that regardless of whether Harris or a Republican candidate wins the presidency, there is likely to be a change in leadership at the SEC. She said that Gensler’s unpopularity is widespread, making his continuation as SEC Chair uncertain. Traditionally, a new president often leads to a change in the SEC Chair, especially if the chair was appointed by the previous administration.
Harris, if elected, is expected to make changes in various governmental areas, including national security and antitrust, which could extend to the SEC. While Gensler’s term officially lasts until 2026, Warren pointed out that the pressure might lead to his resignation or a demotion to a commissioner role within the SEC.
They also discussed the broader impact of Gensler’s tenure. His stringent regulatory approach has not only sparked criticism but has also galvanized Congress into more active discussions on cryptocurrency regulation.&nbsp;
She said, “The reality is that Gary Gensler has politicized the agency, which is a big problem. So I think it would be shocking if, certainly, if Trump wins, we’re going to have a change over there. If Harris wins, I actually think we’d still have a change over there because the reality, and the thing I think people in crypto miss, is that Gary Gensler is not popular among a broad variety of industry actors, not just crypto.”
