Tyler Winklevoss Wants Harris to Fire Gary Gensler Before Election

Tyler Winklevoss, co-founder of Gemini, has issued a rallying call to the 50 million Americans who own cryptocurrency. He’s urging them to unite and put pressure on Vice President Kamala Harris to remove SEC Chair Gary Gensler before the November presidential election. Winklevoss believes this move could end what he describes as the “war on crypto” and bring bipartisan support to the industry.

Winklevoss took to X, the social media platform, on Friday to emphasize the political influence held by American crypto owners. He suggested that a unified demand from this group could compel Harris to act. In his words, “If all 50 million made it clear to Harris that she wouldn’t get their vote unless she fired Gary Gensler and ended the war on crypto before November 5th, the war would end and crypto would become bipartisan overnight. That’s the game theory.” He believes that once this issue is resolved, voters could then focus on other matters.

Tyler Winklevoss has consistently highlighted the importance of transparency in the leadership of the SEC. He’s called on the crypto community to seek clarity from political leaders, ensuring that both parties offer a fair approach to the industry. His stance is clear: the U.S. should be the leading nation for crypto, and the path to achieving this starts with who leads the SEC.

Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler’s brother, has also been vocal on this issue. He’s warned against any superficial attempts by Harris to mend ties with the crypto sector. Cameron insists that only substantial actions will be taken seriously by the industry. He challenges Harris to prove her commitment by taking decisive steps before the election, signaling that empty promises won’t suffice.

Together, the Winklevoss brothers are pushing for a major shift in the political landscape surrounding cryptocurrency. They see the removal of Gensler as a crucial step in securing a future where crypto is embraced and protected by both political parties.
