Gensler, in this discussion, said “There will be Bitcoin futures and I think Ethereum futures and the like, there are no Bitcoin ETFs, and this seems a bit inconsistent to me, even if the laws are not exactly the same, they look quite similar.”
Gensler, particularly, expressed that the non-approval of Bitcoin ETFs, despite the existence of other financial products like Bitcoin futures and Ethereum futures, was inconsistent.
Gary Gensler, with these sentences, emphasized the uncertainty regarding the integration of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology with financial regulations.
