Gary Gensler wants more investor protection
The chairman of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Gary Gensler, talked about the cryptocurrency space and its regulation during an event yesterday. According to the SEC chair, the crypto space is currently a Wild West, and it needs to be regulated.He stated that “Right now, we just don’t have enough investor protection in crypto. Frankly, at this time, it’s more like the Wild West. This asset class is rife with fraud, scams, and abuse in certain applications. There’s a great deal of hype and spin about how crypto assets work. In many cases, investors aren’t able to get rigorous, balanced, and complete information.”
Gensler said he agrees with the former SEC chair regarding initial coin offerings (ICO), stating that they are all securities. As such, they are under the jurisdiction of the regulatory agency.
Crypto regulation should cover DeFi and stablecoins
The SEC chair added that the cryptocurrency regulation shouldn’t be restricted to just the traditional sector. The growth of the DeFi and stablecoins sectors has caught the attention of the regulators, and Gensler said they also need to be regulated.“The world of crypto finance now has platforms where people can trade tokens and other venues where people can lend tokens. I believe these platforms not only can implicate the securities laws; but some platforms also can implicate the commodities laws and the banking laws,” he added.
Gensler believes the regulation needs to expand to cryptocurrency exchanges. With crypto exchanges hosting 50 to 100 tokens, there are bound to be security tokens on the platform, he insisted.
He said, “The American public is buying, selling, and lending crypto on these trading, lending, and DeFi platforms, and there are significant gaps in investor protection.”
Finally, the SEC chair appealed to the US Congress to grant the agency additional powers and resources as it expands its oversight of the cryptocurrency sector.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
