Gensler confirmation (SEC)

Nomination · 117th Congress · Senate record

What it does
Confirmed Gary Gensler to the SEC, which he chaired from 2021 to January 2025.
What happened
Confirmed in April 2021. Under Gensler the SEC sued Binance and Coinbase in June 2023, arguing much of crypto trading was unregistered securities activity.
Scored as
Nay = bag-friendly. Gensler's SEC led the enforcement-first approach to crypto. A yes vote is bag-hostile. Half weight because a confirmation is about more than crypto. The Senate voted again on April 20 for his next term; only the first vote counts.
