Addressing four cryptocurrencies at a conference he held in 2018, Gensler emphasized that they are not securities. Among these cryptocurrencies, the most notable names were Bitcoin and Ethereum. Gensler, who has been keeping his perspective on cryptocurrencies for five years, mentioned these issues while giving a parliamentary speech in the past weeks.
