Mark Cuban Slams Gensler’s Crypto Regulation Approach
Mark Cuban, the billionaire entrepreneur, expressed concerns about SEC Chairman Gary Gensler’s regulatory approach, claiming it could have prevented the collapses of FTX and Three Arrows Capital (3AC).
In a recent episode of the All-In Podcast, Cuban criticized Gensler for prioritizing enforcement actions over clear guidelines, which he considers an ineffective strategy. He noted that Gensler’s tendency is to initiate lawsuits before clarifying rules, creating uncertainty for companies.
Cuban shared his experience attempting to register a token with the SEC, describing the process as convoluted and lacking transparency. He argued that clear regulations, like those in Japan regarding crypto lending, could have encouraged responsible operations in the U.S. “Had the same standards applied, FTX would likely still be operational,” he stated, referencing Japan’s requirements for collateral and asset storage.
Additionally, Cuban hinted at potential political changes, suggesting that Vice President Kamala Harris might replace Gensler if she wins the presidency. He also supported Ripple’s leadership in their battle against the SEC’s recent legal actions, deeming the agency’s efforts a waste of taxpayer money.
