Gary

In a recent video <a href="https://x.com/w_thejazz/status/1855400828468961315?t=2jM09wGpYfl1K2eRZ9j7tg&amp;s=19" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">shared</a> on X by WallStreetBulls (@w_thejazz), U.S. Vice President-elect J.D. Vance strongly criticized current SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s approach to regulating the blockchain and cryptocurrency sectors.
Vance, set to assume office alongside President-elect Donald Trump, highlighted two primary issues with Gensler’s regulatory stance. First, he accused Gensler of injecting politics into the business of securities regulation.
“He wants to inject politics way too much into the actual business of securities in the United States of America,” Vance asserted. This criticism reflects a broader concern among members of the crypto industry who believe that regulatory decisions should be driven by technical and economic considerations rather than political agendas.
The second, and perhaps more significant, point of contention for Vance is Gensler’s approach to regulating blockchain and cryptocurrency. According to Vance, Gensler’s strategy is fundamentally flawed and counterproductive.
“The approach that Gary has taken to regulating blockchain and crypto seems to be almost the exact opposite of what it should be,” he stated. Vance elaborated that the SEC appears to be targeting tokens with utility while ignoring those without it, a stance he believes is misguided, and a stance that explains the SEC’s pursuit of Ripple and XRP while <a href="https://timestabloid.com/pundit-queries-why-sec-battles-ripple-and-xrp-while-ethereum-ico-is-untouched/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">leaving Ethereum untouched</a>.

Vance’s concerns about the SEC’s focus on utility in tokens are rooted in a broader apprehension about the financialization of the crypto sector. He expressed worries about the authenticity and viability of many crypto projects, suggesting that tokens with actual utility should be the focus of regulation. Vance emphasized the need to regulate these tokens carefully to ensure consumer protection without stifling innovation.
One of the points emphasized is the importance of blockchain technology for emerging companies, particularly those aiming to challenge established social media giants. He noted that many of the most exciting new ventures in communications rely on high-utility tokens for functions such as verification.
“A lot of the newest challengers to the social media incumbents of 2024 are going to require some blockchain technology to make their business work,” Vance explained. He warned that if the regulatory environment makes it difficult to use such tokens, it could hinder the growth of these innovative companies and entrench existing incumbents.
The crypto community, especially supporters of XRP, has reacted positively to Vance’s remarks. WallStreetBulls believes that Vance’s stance could benefit XRP, which has been under scrutiny by the SEC. The <a href="https://timestabloid.com/ripple-ceo-to-donald-trump-fire-sec-chair-gensler-on-day-1-no-delays/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">anticipation of Gensler’s removal</a>, as promised by President-elect Trump, has further fueled optimism within the community.
