Gensler's opinion before his appointment as the Sec chairman

The video that went viral on Twitter shows, as Gensler says that four of the leading cryptocurrencies-Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (Ether), Litecoin (LTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH)-should not be treated as securities.

"Bitcoin. ether. Litecoin. Bitcoin-bargeld. Why did I name these four?

The video dates from 2018 when Gensler was chairman of the Maryland Financial Consumer Protection Commission. In 2021 he was appointed chairman of the SEC-a US government authority that regulates and monitored the securities markets.

The agency is also known for its hard approach to the cryptocurrency industry and recently submitted complaints against two of the heavyweights of the industry- Binance coinbase . The main allegations are that they have offered trade services with unregulated securities such as BNB, SOL, ADA, Matic and other known assets.

It is worth noting that the agency in its complaints did not touch the four cryptocurrencies that Gensler described in 2018 as "no securities".

BTC is a goods and embarrassing silence compared to ETH

Shortly after joining the SEC, Gensler changed his attitude to the cryptocurrency universe. The American who was affectionate to the market in the summer of 2021, later called It was "highly speculative" and said that he never had digital currencies.

He also claims several times that "anything but Bitcoin" is a securities, while the primary cryptocurrency is the only one that acts as the goods.

In contrast to BTC, Gensler was quite unclear with regard to the status of the ETH. He avoided a direct answer to whether the second largest crypto-asset should be classified as goods or securities in early 2022.

Gensler did the same as preserver-spaces = "true"> from the financial services committee of the House of Representatives in April of this year. Instead, he gave inaccurate answers to Patrick Mchenry's repeated questions without giving any details.
