Gemini Founder: U.S. SEC Chair Candidate Confirmation Prior to Election is Essential

Tyler Winklevoss, co-founder of the cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, has emphasized the importance of confirming the next United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chair before the upcoming U.S. presidential election. According to Winklevoss, confirming the SEC chair is crucial to foster a positive relationship between the Biden-Harris administration and the crypto industry. He believes that Vice President Kamala Harris should take action on the matter promptly, underscoring the need for a clear regulatory framework for digital assets. Winklevoss also criticized the tendency of politicians who attend cryptocurrency conferences while remaining hesitant to embrace the potential of the industry. He drew a parallel to past debates on the legality of email and the internet, highlighting the significance of embracing innovation.
