GARY GENSLER FACES FIRE OVER CRYPTO REGULATION AND DEBT BOX CASE IN CONGRESS

- SEC Chair Gary Gensler clashed with Republican Majority Whip Tom Emmer over the SEC’s handling of the DEBT Box case, where a federal judge criticized the agency's actions and ordered sanctions.

- Congress members questioned the Commissioners thoughts on whether art for NFTs like StonerCats falls under the 1st Amendment or not.

- Gensler at one point conceded that tickets to a NY yankees game were not securities, but still felt NFTs fell under the SEC's purveiw.

- Lawmakers on both sides questioned the SEC’s unclear rules for the crypto industry, while others, like Democrat Maxine Waters, defended the SEC's investor protection efforts.

- Crypto has become a hot-button issue ahead of the 2024 elections, with firms spending $119 million on political action committees, raising stakes in regulatory clarity.

- Democrat Ritchie Torres pressed Gensler on whether selling a Yankees ticket is like selling an NFT, challenging the SEC’s stance on unregistered securities.

- Gensler cited the Howey Test, emphasizing the importance of how assets are sold and whether investors expect profits, underlining ongoing debates about what constitutes a security, despite the XRP ruling the ill-fit of the Howey Test for digital assets.

Could you tell where a parrot is from just by its accent? A study in @RSocPublishing #ProcB spanning 22 years has revealed changing dialects amongst the yellow-naped Amazon parrots of Costa Rica, suggesting that disruption due to human activity is driving cultural change amongst these birds: https://t.co/4DtDtzqTGM
