US Crypto Regulation at a Turning Point? Trump to Fire Gensler, Says Justin Sun

Donald Trump has declared victory as the 47th U.S. president, and all eyes are now on SEC Chairman Gary Gensler. Trump has promised to fire Gensler as soon as he steps into office, creating buzz in the crypto world. Will Gensler’s time at the SEC be over soon? 

Amid this growing speculation about Gary Gensler’s future at the SEC, Tron founder Justin Sun has extended a public job offer to the current SEC Chair. Sun’s proposal comes after Donald Trump promises to replace Gensler if re-elected, sparking debate in the crypto community about the future of U.S. crypto regulation.

Sun, known for his outspoken support of blockchain innovation, posted on social media that he would be open to hiring Gensler if he genuinely treated the crypto industry with sincerity. This offer was a direct response to Trump’s criticism of Gensler’s aggressive approach to crypto regulation, which many in the industry view as a barrier to innovation. As of now, it is predicted that Gensler’s role in SEC may end by December. 

A Humorous Yet Serious Offer

Sun acknowledged the personal stakes involved in Gensler’s situation, hinting at the challenges that come with such a high-profile dismissal. He humorously noted that, like anyone, Gensler “has a family to support,” while offering him a chance to redeem himself in the crypto world.

While the offer could be a genuine attempt to welcome Gensler into a more crypto-friendly environment, it may also be a tongue-in-cheek dig at his tenure as SEC Chair. Under Gensler’s leadership, the SEC has aggressively pursued blockchain projects, creating an adversarial climate with the crypto industry.

The Future of U.S. Crypto Regulation

With potential SEC Chair replacements like Hester Peirce and Chris Giancarlo being considered, Sun’s remarks reflect the growing desire for clearer, more supportive crypto policies. His congratulatory message to Trump emphasizes the hope that a shift in leadership could bring about a more industry-friendly regulatory environment.

As discussions around Gensler’s exit continue, the crypto community is watching closely for changes that could shape the future of digital assets in the U.S. The crypto market is cheering the trump win and also waiting for pro-crypto regulations in action.
