Senate Moves Forward with Gary Gensler's SEC Nomination
- Regulation
On April 12, the U.S. Senate scheduled consideration of Gary Gensler as SEC Chair, setting the stage for his confirmation. Known for his blockchain knowledge from MIT days, Gensler was a polarizing figure on CT—some hoped he'd be crypto-friendly, others feared a regulatory crackdown. His tenure later became a meme for lawsuits against exchanges and projects, with 'Gary hates crypto' trending hard. This date marked the start of a love-hate saga for the community.
