Cuban took to social media to voice concerns about the nation’s increasingly hostile attitude toward the crypto industry, cautioning that it could jeopardize both the sector’s growth and America’s global reputation.

Accusing Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler of neglecting investor protection and hindering legitimate crypto businesses, Cuban warned Congress of the impending influence of crypto voters in the next election cycle. A January poll indicated that 51% of cryptocurrency voters are in favor of Trump as a presidential candidate, although opinions on congressional races vary.

Crypto supporter Mark Cuban echoed sentiments expressed by other crypto leaders, criticizing Gensler’s regulatory approach for stifling innovation and driving legitimate companies out of the U.S. market. He urged Congress to intervene, proposing that the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) take the reins in regulating all crypto activities to provide much-needed clarity and support for the industry.

Meanwhile, Trump announced his willingness to accept cryptocurrency donations for his campaign, while memecoins inspired by him and President Biden saw a surge in value on May 9.

President Biden’s recent resistance to crypto-friendly measures, including his veto of a resolution overturning SEC crypto accounting guidance, has further alienated crypto voters. The rift is evident in polling data, with a majority of crypto voters leaning toward Trump, aligning with his pro-crypto stance.
