She added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI don\u2019t believe that\u2019s going to happen, especially if Donald Trump is elected president.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, she also said that she can't confirm whether this would also be the case if Vice President Kamala Harris is elected.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Lummis said that Gensler doesn\u2019t &#8220;recognize adequately&#8221; that Bitcoin (<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\">BTC<\/a>) and Ethereum (<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/ethereum\/\">ETH<\/a>) are commodities. Lummis further said that other crypto might be commodities without naming them:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe need to have a clear definition. The Howey Test is available to us, and as it has been updated, there are maybe other assets just besides Bitcoin and Ethereum that would qualify for the jurisdiction of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Notably, Gensler <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/sec-chair-gensler-reaffirms-bitcoins-commodity-status-criticizes-industrys-disregard-of-rules\/\">reiterated<\/a> during his participation on Squawk Box on Sept. 26 that the SEC views Bitcoin as a commodity.\u00a0However, during a Sept. 24 <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/sec-genslers-crypto-crackdown-under-scrutiny-as-he-testifies-before-congress\/\">Congress hearing<\/a>, the SEC Chairman did not comment on Ethereum's status.<\/p>\n<h2>Congress must regulate crypto in the US<\/h2>\n<p>Lummis also addressed the necessity of regulating crypto in the US to give clarity to companies. She stated that the EU has been regulating the local market \u201cvery effectively\u201d since 2023, and the US should never let other countries get ahead in financial services.<\/p>\n<p>The hosts also brought up Gensler's recent remarks on the necessity of clarity to foster crypto industry growth in the US. Lummis agreed with the sentiment, stating\u00a0that Congress needs to regulate crypto in the country.<\/p>\n<p>She added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSome of the problem has been that the SEC has said \u2018we have all the tools we need to regulate,\u2019 but the way they applied them has brought court cases instead of regulating by making clear rules. They are regulating by enforcement action.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Lummis further argued that industry players don't understand what is wrong when the SEC regulates only by applying penalties,<\/p>\n<p>Concluding her remarks on crypto regulation, Lummis highlighted that regulators should not mistake fraudsters for crypto.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYou can commit fraud with yachts, with art, with coins, with minerals. It is not the asset itself that is fraudulent.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis believes that SEC Chair Gary Gensler is likely to step down from his role as the regulator&#8217;s head next year.
