Will Mark Cuban Unseat SEC Chair Gary Gensler in Kamala Harris Government?

As a seasoned crypto investor with over two decades of experience under my belt, I have seen the evolution of this exciting and sometimes turbulent industry from its infancy to the global phenomenon it is today. The potential appointment of Mark Cuban as the head of the SEC would be a game-changer for our community, and here’s why.


In a recent conversation with Fox News, wealthy businessman Mark Cuban expressed his desire to become the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), should Kamala Harris win the U.S. Presidential Elections. Over time, Cuban has been an active player in the crypto market and has openly criticized the SEC for its strict and heavy-handed stance towards the cryptocurrency industry.

In Mark Cuban’s plan, advocates from the cryptocurrency sector expressed their approval. John Deaton, a lawyer for XRP and the Republican Nominee from Massachusetts, voiced his intention to back Cuban in overthrowing the lawlessness of Gary Gensler, even though he has disagreements with Cuban on other matters.

During a hearing for the SEC Chair on Tuesday, legislators posed challenging questions to Gensler regarding his stance on the cryptocurrency sector. Additionally, US Representative Tom Emmer described him as the “most damaging” and “lawless” chair in the 90-year existence of the agency. It appears that the crypto industry is growing increasingly dissatisfied with Gensler’s leadership as SEC Chair.

Discussing the subject of advancement, Deaton expressed his belief that Mark Cuban would introduce a significant shift in the management of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Deaton emphasized Cuban’s past interactions with the SEC, acknowledging that Cuban had effectively countered what he termed as “excessive intervention” by the agency.

Why Cuban Could Be A Good SEC Chief?

Regarding the actions taken by the Biden administration, Mark Cuban still endorses Kamala Harris, expressing his belief that she is more “business-friendly” than Donald Trump. Furthermore, Cuban has been providing guidance to Harris’ team on shaping their policies related to cryptocurrency and the overall approach they should adopt in this sector.

Despite the SEC chief, Gensler, being criticized by tech billionaire Cuban for his handling of cryptocurrency and his perceived inefficiencies, Cuban further accused Gensler of not having Kamala Harris’s support for the enforcement-based regulatory approach that he champions. Being actively involved in the crypto industry himself, Cuban claims to have a deeper understanding of its evolving nature.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Vice President is actively promoting fresh commitments towards cryptocurrency and the blockchain sector. Additionally, she has vowed to secure U.S. leadership in both blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies.
