Change

<p>Ladan Stewart, a former top lawyer at the SEC known for her high-profile cases against major players like Ripple and Coinbase, is calling for a significant change in leadership at the agency. She believes that appointing a new leader is essential to repair the SEC's troubled relationship with the crypto industry. In an interview with Fox Business, Stewart explained that fresh leadership could lead to better collaboration with crypto companies.</p>   
<p>Here's all you need to know. </p>   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-frustration-with-gary-gensler-s-approach">Frustration with Gary Gensler’s Approach</h2>   
<p>Since Gary Gensler became SEC Chair in 2021, the agency has taken many enforcement actions that have frustrated crypto leaders. Many view Gensler’s approach as a barrier to productive regulatory discussions.</p>

<p><a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ripples-ceo-drops-truth-bomb-on-sec-why-this-lawsuit-is-a-total-joke/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse</a> has even labeled his tenure a "reign of terror," highlighting how the SEC's actions make it difficult for firms to engage meaningfully with the agency. This rising tension has created a divide between the SEC and the industry, making it harder for companies to connect with regulators.</p>   
<p><strong>Industry Resentment </strong></p>   
<p>Stewart shared that after moving to the private sector, she was surprised by the strong resentment toward Gensler within the industry. She warned that unless there is a change in leadership, this ongoing conflict could continue to block constructive conversations between regulators and the crypto sector.</p>   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-it-s-time-for-change">It's Time for Change! </h2>   
<p>Stewart is not alone in her call for change. Other former SEC officials, including ex-enforcement directors and unit heads, have left the agency to work at private law firms that represent crypto clients. Notable figures like former SEC Chair Jay Clayton and former Finance Director Bill Hinman have taken on advisory roles in the crypto space to promote policies that support industry growth.</p>   [post_titles_links postid="374005"]

<p>With the upcoming <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP2Q_7rzNs0&amp;pp=ygUadXMgZWxlY3Rpb24gMjAyNCBjb2lucGVkaWE%3D" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. elections</a>, many in the crypto community are hopeful that new <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/coinbase-ceo-calls-on-next-sec-chair-to-drop-frivolous-lawsuits-and-apologize-to-americans/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SEC leadership</a> could lead to a more open attitude toward the industry. Stewart believes that, regardless of the election outcome, a new leader could help the SEC and crypto companies find common ground. </p>   
<p>She emphasized that a fresh approach could allow both sides to work together more effectively, unlocking the potential for progress in the industry.</p>
