In a recent segment on CNBC's Squawk Box, Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis voiced her strong criticism of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and its chair, Gary Gensler. Lummis highlighted the need for improved regulation in the crypto space, emphasizing the challenges faced by the industry.
Lummis went on to predict that Gary Gensler may step down as SEC chair in 2024. This speculation comes amid growing concerns within the crypto community regarding the SEC's handling of regulation. Many industry advocates are frustrated that Congress often shifts the blame solely onto the SEC.
As the landscape evolves, the potential changes in SEC leadership could significantly impact future regulations affecting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other altcoins.
