In a surprising twist, Gary Gensler, the current head of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), known for his strict stance on blockchain and cryptocurrencies, was once a fan of Ripple’s XRP. Picture this: in 2018, at a discussion about how blockchain impacts finance, Gensler praised XRP for making cross-border payments smoother.

Now, Gensler’s time as the SEC boss looks pretty different from his past support for XRP. This is interesting, especially considering the SEC is in a legal battle with many crypto firms. Gensler’s old views show how tricky it is to regulate blockchain in the world of traditional finance.

In the middle of all this, U.S. Representative Warren Davidson is against Gensler leading the SEC. He’s using the recent SEC actions against Kraken as a reason to get rid of Gensler. Davidson’s SEC Stabilization Act not only wants to change how the SEC works but also wants to rethink Gensler’s role.
So, to sum it up, Gensler once thought XRP could make global money transfers cheaper and easier. Now, as the SEC boss, things have changed. This shift from being a fan to being a rule enforcer shows how complex the world of crypto and blockchain can be.
