Reports indicate @GaryGensler is moving to unilaterally classify #ETH as a security. This is contrary to the @CFTC's assessment and the @SECgov's prior actions. Congress decides the SEC's jurisdiction and budget, Chair Gensler doesn't get to make it up as he goes along. x.com/FinancialCmte/…

Chair Gensler’s enforcement team’s egregious misconduct will have broad implications on SEC authority beyond his crypto crusade. Gensler requested more funding for enforcement last year, now a judge calls out the SEC’s abusive and deceptive legal practices. This must end. x.com/financialcmte/…
