Davidson firmly believes that the capital markets need protection from what he sees as Genslerโ€™s overreach. He wants to bring real reform and fire Gensler as the SEC Chair.

When lawmakers are charged with bad intentions who should we trust, is crypto trading safe in such a political upheaval, or it will all fade with ETF approval? Letโ€™s understand more. 

What Went Wrong with Gensler? 

One of the positive events so far is the recent court ruling in favor of Grayscaleโ€™s ETF filing created a buzz in the market. It boosted Bitcoin by 6% after the decision. The unanimous support from three judges for Grayscaleโ€™s case caused discussions across the community and on crypto platforms like Twitter. 

Representative Warren Davidson expressed his thoughts on his X post, saying, โ€œGary Genslerโ€™s actions at the SEC are arbitrary and capricious.โ€ He used this sentiment to renew his call to remove Gensler from his chair. 

He quoted a recent court statement to support his stance, highlighting that the SECโ€™s denial of Grayscaleโ€™s ETF proposal was arbitrary and capricious. 

Grayscale, a dominant player in the crypto industry, had halted its operations when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) objected to its GBTC over-the-counter application.

The primary cause of objection was that the product in question seemed to be โ€œfraudulent and manipulative acts and practices are done.โ€ Giving a strong reply, Grayscale took the battle to court, challenging the SECโ€™s rejection.
