Gensler to make a statement about cryptocurrencies
Gensler believes that all cryptos fall under the securities laws and recommends updating rules and regulations that have not been updated since 2005, despite the growing market size, increasing number of American investors, and rapidly changing technology. It also aims to target crypto and artificial intelligence under SEC rules and claims that the best practice standard for brokers covers all sectors of the securities markets, including equities, fixed income and crypto asset securities.

The SEC aims to protect investors against fraud, manipulation, front-running, wash-trade sales, and other abuses in the crypto market. However, despite criticism from prominent figures and companies in the crypto market, the SEC continues to regulate the market through sanctions.
