In a recent podcast appearance, McHenry claimed<\/a><\/strong> that Gensler \u2014 while leading the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission \u2014 privately acknowledged the value of digital assets and even supported innovations like token airdrops. But publicly, Gensler took a much tougher tone, which McHenry says was driven by pressure from progressive figures in the Senate and the demands of political survival.<\/p>\n

McHenry believes this duality distorted crypto regulation and eroded trust in the SEC. He accused Gensler of misleading Congress during hearings on Ethereum\u2019s status, despite the agency allegedly having an internal stance classifying ETH as a security.<\/p>\n
