Co-founder of leading cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, Cameron Winklevoss, recently addressed U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, emphasizing the need for decisive steps in cryptocurrency regulations. Winklevoss continued to urge Harris to take action with his call.
Emphasized the Need for Concrete Changes
In a recent post on social media platform X, Winklevoss criticized the potential of superficial promises and highlighted the intelligence and strength of the cryptocurrency community. He underscored that merely impressive and persuasive rhetoric would not be enough to repair the damage of the past four years.
Winklevoss particularly emphasized the necessity of concrete changes, such as the removal of SEC Chairman Gary Gensler. This call follows recent statements by former President Donald Trump, who, at a Bitcoin Conference, promised to remove Gensler immediately if re-elected. Winklevoss’s message reflects a broader sentiment within the cryptocurrency industry that views Gensler as an obstacle to innovation and fair regulation.
Contributing to the discourse, Custodia Bank founder Caitlin Long highlighted that Gensler is just one of many involved in what she referred to as “Operation Choke Point 2.0,” an effort to limit the operational scope of cryptocurrency companies. Long invited Harris to take broader steps, including the removal of other officials allegedly involved in these restrictive practices.
Cryptocurrency World Focuses on U.S. Presidential Race
Currently, the cryptocurrency world, especially following Trump’s statements at the Bitcoin Conference, is closely monitoring the U.S. presidential race. Market analysts are speculating about the potential impact of the upcoming elections on Bitcoin’s price.
Some believe that a Trump victory could push Bitcoin’s price to $100,000 by the end of the year, while other market analysts, like Jonah, warn that a Harris win could lead to a significant price drop in the leading cryptocurrency, potentially falling below $50,000.
