Gensler on Crypto Use Cases and Investor Protection

Gensler questioned the use cases for cryptocurrencies. With over 15,000 to 20,000 tokens, he asked what are the specific use cases. He said investors need to understand the utility of each individual token. Gensler has repeatedly warned about crypto’s lack of compliance and called for registration with the SEC.

SEC Enforcement Actions and Resources

When asked how the SEC decides which enforcement actions to pursue, Gensler cited limited resources. With many complaints and bad actors, the SEC prioritizes accountability, high-impact cases, and gatekeepers. In 2022, the SEC brought 760 enforcement actions and expanded its crypto unit. Fiscal year 2023 numbers may come soon.
