50 Million US Crypto Owners Urged to Push Kamala Harris to Fire SEC Chair Before Election
Tyler Winklevoss, co-founder of the cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, has called on the 50 million Americans who own cryptocurrency to unite in a political effort. He urged these crypto holders to pressure Vice President Kamala Harris to remove U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler before the presidential election in November. Winklevoss believes that this move could end what he describes as the “war on crypto” and make cryptocurrency a bipartisan issue.
Winklevoss Pushes for Bipartisan Crypto Support
Winklevoss used the X social media platform to underscore the relevance of the crypto fan base. He proposed that if all 50 million owners of cryptocurrency present to Harris that they will vote for her only if Gensler is fired, the clash with the SEC can be resolved. To make matters much clearer, he said that joining forces would push the issue to the bipartisan level, and indeed voters should start getting worried about other matters apart from that.
Winklevoss has not been very polite towards the SEC and has called for practical changes and fair treatment from the agency. He has called on the members of the crypto community to ask both parties to state their positions on cryptocurrency regulation in the United States. More specifically, according to Winklevoss, the country must strive to become the best place for the crypto industry.
His brother, Cameron Winklevoss, also provided his input, stating they should be careful with what he perceives as superficial gestures by Harris seeking to warm up with the crypto sector. Cameron warned that such claims and promises could not fool the crypto community. He emphasized that everything but determination would not be acceptable by stating only decisive actions and not symbolic gestures. Before the November election, Cameron urged Harris to prove her dedication to the crypto industry by providing tangible actions.
The Winklevoss brothers’ remarks demonstrate an escalating conflict between the crypto sector and the SEC, underscoring the political influence that the crypto business feels as November approaches.
