Policy Shift Towards Crypto-Friendly US<\/h2>\n
Gensler\u2019s leadership has been marked by numerous enforcement actions, lawsuits and Wells Notices against major players in the crypto space, including Binance, Coinbase and the most notorious case against Ripple Labs, while failing to provide a clear regulatory framework for digital assets.<\/p>\n
The anticipation surrounding Gensler\u2019s potential exit is compounded by Trump\u2019s promises to create a more favorable environment for cryptocurrencies, positioning the US as the \u201ccrypto capital of the world.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
