INDUSTRY CRITICISM: Gensler reiterated his concerns about the cryptocurrency sector, saying it is rife with bad players.

TradFi vs. DeFi: Gensler also mentioned his concerns about the cryptocurrency sector.DeFi: Gensler also said that in traditional financial markets, investors trade based on fundamentals and sentiment, whereas in DeFi, investments are mostly sentiment-driven. According to Gensler, during his tenure as chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (

SEC), Gensler stunted innovation in the cryptocurrency sector, and his aggressive interpretation of securities laws stalled DeFi builders. His actions emphasized the need for clearer compliance standards, but people argue that the lack of tailored legislation is holding back the industry. It is hoped that his departure will lead to a turnaround in the regulation of the cryptocurrency sector with more constructive policies.
