As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience navigating the tumultuous waters of financial regulations, I have witnessed the rise and fall of many influential figures in this industry. In the case of Gary Gensler, his tenure at the helm of the SEC has been nothing short of fascinating to observe.
According to reports, Gary Gensler, who serves as the Chair of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), plans to step down from his position on January 20, 2025.
Gensler’s departure coincides with President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration

In April 2021, Gensler took office and expressed that his term was “an unparalleled privilege,” attributing it to accomplishments like progressing central clearing in the Treasury market and revising executive compensation guidelines.
Gary Gensler vs. Crypto
The person appointed by Biden, Gensler, has openly shown reservations about crypto regulations. After the FIT21 bill was approved in the House, he strongly criticized it.
During his tenure, he adopted a firm approach towards the cryptocurrency sector, initiating regulatory actions against significant players such as Coinbase, Binance, and Kraken, accusing them of potential breaches in securities regulations.
In general, the cryptocurrency sector tends to regard Gensler with a mix of caution and annoyance. Many people within this sphere argue that his stringent regulatory stance and classification of most digital assets as securities has hindered innovation and introduced legal ambiguity.
During his term, Gensler encountered resistance from both political parties, with a significant focus on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s management of digital assets.
Notable individuals from the realm of cryptocurrencies and finance, like Brian Brooks, who previously served as the Acting Comptroller of the Currency, and Teresa Goody Guillén, a seasoned attorney at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), are being considered as potential candidates.
Under Gensler’s leadership, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) endorsed its inaugural Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds, marking a significant advancement in the crypto industry that had been awaited for years due to previous delays. Although this move was influenced somewhat by a court verdict, Gensler encountered some criticism early on for his initial reluctance towards these products.
As Trump’s supportive stance on cryptocurrencies grows stronger, Gensler’s resignation may signal a significant turning point for the cryptocurrency sector. In fact, the market has experienced a considerable surge in value following this announcement.
