Dogecoin Co-Founder Criticizes SEC Chair Gary Gensler
The co-founder of Dogecoin, Billy Markus, has publicly criticized the Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Gary Gensler. Markus referred to Gensler as “useless in every single way” in response to a video where Gensler claimed that fraud and noncompliance are prevalent in the digital assets industry.
Gensler’s Concerns About Noncompliance
In the video, Gensler expressed concern about noncompliance with securities laws within the crypto field. He emphasized that these laws are in place to protect investors against fraud and manipulation. Gensler acknowledged that while the digital assets industry is relatively small, the presence of fraud and bad actors undermines confidence and harms investors globally.
Markus’ Previous Criticism
This is not the first time Markus has voiced his criticism. In October, he called out the Dogecoin community for their lack of productivity. Now, he extends his criticism to Gensler, stating that the SEC Chair has failed to establish clear rules and merely engages in hand waving.
Hot Take: A Clash between Dogecoin’s Co-Founder and the SEC Chair
The clash between Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus and SEC Chair Gary Gensler highlights the ongoing tension between regulators and those within the crypto industry. While Markus accuses Gensler of being ineffective, Gensler emphasizes the need for compliance with securities laws to protect investors from fraud.
