#CryptoRoundTableRemarks New Oversight: Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Gary Gensler

One of the senior regulators in the United States made a clear push for change yesterday, stating that transferring stocks and bonds to cryptocurrencies and blockchain could open the door to new ways of buying, selling, and owning shares.

The official - Gary Gensler, the new chairman of the SEC - spoke at a roundtable in Washington about tokenization, simply comparing how music has transitioned from vinyl records to digital files. He warned that clinging to old rules could drive innovation abroad, and pledged to work with his fellow commissioners to establish new guidelines.
