Gary Gensler, the Chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, is set to testify in front of the House Financial Services Committee on April 18. This will be Gensler’s first appearance before the committee since taking the helm.

Gensler will face questions about his approach to rule-making and digital assets during the hearing. The House Financial Services Committee has significant control over the SEC and covers all facets of the American financial services industry, including banking, securities, and digital assets. It will also discuss laying down a regulatory sphere for digital assets.

The SEC’s stance on cryptocurrencies has been a topic of considerable attention over the years. Many Democratic party members have expressed their disapproval of the same, which could prove to be a problem for the party’s 2024 election campaign. However, several pro-crypto and pro-Bitcoin Democrats are gathering to express their disapproval of the party’s policy, according to Dennis Porter, the co-founder of the Satoshi Action Fund.

US regulators have recently taken a strict stance on cryptocurrencies. The SEC sent Wells notices to several cryptocurrency firms, including Coinbase, and the CFTC filed a new complaint against Binance. While other regions are moving forward with cryptocurrency regulations, the US has lagged. The SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit, which has been ongoing since 2020, is expected to establish what constitutes security in the US, but current regulators have not laid out a clear path.
