Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler spoke this morning at the Practising Law Institute's 56th annual conference on securities regulation. It sounded awfully close to a farewell speech.

Onlookers noted that SEC Chair Gary Gensler reffered to his time at the agency in past tense during a recent speech.

Eighteen Republican attorneys general sued the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Chair Gary Gensler on Thursday for allegedly overstepping the agency’s authority in its enforcement actions against the cryptocurrency industry.

SEC Chair Gary Gensler defended the agency’s approach to regulating cryptocurrency, contending that his leadership has not differed much from that of former SEC Chair Jay Clayton.

Eighteen states have collectively filed suit against the SEC, Gary Gensler, and his fellow commissioners, alleging crypto regulatory overreach.

U.S. states file a lawsuit against the SEC, accusing it of “unconstitutional persecution” of the crypto industry, aiming to challenge its regulatory approach.

Eighteen states in the U.S. are officially fed up with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and they’re aiming their frustration right at SEC Chair Gary Gensler. That’s according to Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett.
