Cuban pointed out that cryptocurrencies have become a “mainstay with younger and independent voters.” However, he added that the SEC hasn’t introduced any policies that could protect investors from fraud. Further slamming Gensler, Cuban asserted,
“All he has done is make it nearly impossible for legitimate crypto companies to operate, killing who knows how many businesses and ruining who knows how many entrepreneurs.”
Recently, Trump promised the crypto investors a “good and solid” crypto industry, arguing that Biden doesn’t even know what crypto is. Criticizing the SEC and the Democrats for their alleged anti-crypto stance, Trump assured that he wouldn’t use regulatory power to crush the industry.
In his X post, Cuban requested Congress to bring regulatory clarity to the industry before the 2024 Presidential election. Believing that such a move could secure another Presidential term for Biden, he stated, “You could solve this problem for Biden by passing legislation that defines registration that is specific to the crypto industry just as other industries have registration that is defined for them.”
Moreover, as a final solution to the regulatory challenges in the crypto market, Cuban suggested the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) take control of the industry. He asserted, “They [CFTC] actually know what they are doing.”
