SEC’s Gary Gensler Urged to Resign by 2025 Amid Crypto Industry Backlash

SEC Chair Gary Gensler under scrutiny for his crypto regulation policies

Crypto Advocates Want Gary Gensler Out by 2025

As criticism piles up from the cryptocurrency community and lawmakers alike, a louder call for Gary Gensler’s resignation by 2025 takes precedence. Gensler has gradually come under pressure from U.S. policymakers and crypto advocates who have complained he is holding back innovation and the growth of digital assets with his regulatory policies.

Congressional Leaders Say Their Piece

The most vocal advocate for Gensler’s resignation is Arkansas Republican Representative French Hill. He has publicly stated his belief that the SEC needs new leadership by 2025, no matter whether Democrats or Republicans will be in power then. Hill, among all the other Republican lawmakers, has relentlessly criticized Gensler for mishandling the agency and not giving the nascent crypto industry sufficient clarity.

Hill has also been openly critical of Gensler’s stewardship, citing what he said are “fear-mongering” tactics within the agency. The balance under Gensler’s direction, Hill argues, hasn’t used its powers judiciously-particularly on the blockchain and crypto industries which are really growing fast. He added that the SEC should be more vision-oriented in order to foster innovation, rather than trying to strangle it.

Internal SEC Unhappiness

But under his leadership, there has also been disapproval from within the Commission. Commissioner Hester Peirce of the SEC publicly slams the direction the Commission has taken under the care of Gensler. During a recent hearing on Capitol Hill, Peirce was quick to cite how the SEC, under Gensler’s helm, had “utterly failed” to provide workable registration paths for crypto companies. She termed the approach inefficient and misleading.

Peirce’s comments come amid a growing view in the crypto community that Gensler’s policies are forcing innovation offshore, away from the U.S.

Political Stakes for Gensler’s Tenure

It’s unclear how much longer Gensler will remain at the helm of the SEC. The 2024 presidential election is fast-approaching, and the tenure of Gensler, who was appointed under President Biden, may be coming to an end if a Republican succeeds him in the White House. GOP contender Donald Trump has vowed that he would sack Gensler on the very first day if elected president. In the event of a Democratic win, particularly with Kamala Harris, the commission could possibly see the term of Gensler extended, though even within the Democrats there has been some murmurs about replacing him to help fix relations with the crypto industry.
