Cuban elaborated:
He also took issue with Gensler for making it “practically unworkable for legitimate crypto enterprises to function,” suggesting that this stance has potentially destroyed several businesses and jeopardized numerous entrepreneurs.
The Biden administration has been perceived as stringent on cryptocurrency regulations, while former President Trump has exhibited a more receptive approach to crypto, even accepting cryptocurrency donations for his campaign. This varying stance could influence how crypto advocates perceive each candidate in the upcoming election.

Gensler Stays Neutral on Political Matters
When questioned about the political implications during the Bloomberg summit, Gensler refrained from making any political statements, asserting, “I do not comment on elections.” He emphasized his duty to safeguard investors and uphold fair, orderly, and efficient markets, irrespective of the political landscape.
Additionally, when quizzed about the launch date of an Ether ETF at the same event, Gensler declined to provide a specific date but indicated positive progress. He highlighted that the next phase involved asset managers furnishing all requisite information within their registration documents.
Last month, the SEC granted preliminary approval to eight Ethereum ETF applications. These firms now need to complete their registration paperwork (S-1 forms) before commencing trading. Analysts at Bloomberg, Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart, anticipate that these ETFs could be available in the market by as early as July 2.
