哈里斯提名证券交易委员会主席盖瑞·詹斯勒担任财政部长

Kamala Harris is considering Gary Gensler for Treasury Secretary if she wins the 2024 election. Gensler, the current SEC Chairman, has made crypto firms cautious. According to some senior Senate staffers, Kamala is serious about this, and Republicans will surely oppose.

Republicans are against this nomination. Representative Tom Emmer from Minnesota, who doesn't like Gensler, stated that he needs to move on and his government career should be over. Emmer mentioned Gensler's lawsuits but lack of wins. Other Republican staffers are ready to block Gensler's nomination.

Some Democrats might support Gensler, like Elissa Slotkin from Michigan and Ruben Gallego from Arizona, due to ties with groups like Fairshake PAC. However, their support is uncertain. There's also a rumor that Gensler might step down from the SEC before the election.

Gensler's potential appointment could mean more scrutiny for crypto firms. The uncertainty about what's a security could prolong, making it harder for crypto companies to operate. They might move to friendlier places, leaving the U.S. behind in crypto innovation.
