Speaking at Coinbase’s State of Crypto Summit, Cuban opined that Gensler could “literally cost Joe Biden the election,” per Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett.Source:Eleanor Terrett.


This isn’t the first time Cuban has gone on the record to indicate that it’s his belief that Gary Gensler, and by extension the SEC itself, could act as a foil to Biden’s second term hopes. long called for regulatory clarity. As Cointelegraph reported back in May of 2024, Cuban called for the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to take over cryptocurrency regulation duties.


At the time he said that crypto voters “will be heard this election,” referring to the 2024 U.S. presidential election. He also issued the warning that “If Joe Biden loses, there is a good chance you will be able to thank Gary Gensler and the New York SEC.”Joe Biden on cryptocurrency


President Biden has reportedly begun discussions with cryptocurrency industry insiders for a potential pivot to accepting crypto donations for his campaign.

Former U.S. president Donald Trump’s stance on cryptocurrency differs wildly from that of Bidens. In a complete 180-degree turn, Trump’s has recently offered his full-throated support for the technology.


As Cointelegraph reported recently, Trump has vowed to “end Joe Biden’s war on crypto,” and to “ensure that the future of crypto and the future of Bitcoin will be made in America.”


In previous comments, Trump posted to his Truth social media network that he would safeguard the cryptocurrency industry against government infringement and that “Crooked Joe Biden, on the other hand, the worst president in the history of our country, wants it to die a slow and painful death.”# Bitcoin# Cryptocurrencies# Altcoin# Politics# Elections# Donald Trump# Mark Cuban# Regulation# Joe BidenAdd reaction
