Gary Gensler appeared nervous during his testimony to the US Congress.

On September 24, 2024, the US Congress held a hearing on "Oversight of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)". Here, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler was criticized by lawmakers and members of his own agency for his handling of cryptocurrency regulation in the United States.

Tom Emmer, a Republican and U.S. Congressman, has strongly criticized Gary Gensler, calling him the most destructive and lawless person in the SEC's 90-year history.

In contrast, top Democrat Maxine Waters voiced her support for the SEC, saying the agency is doing its job by protecting investors and ensuring that America's capital markets remain the pride of the world.

The incident quickly became a hot topic of discussion, with many people questioning his health and leadership abilities amid the SEC’s crackdown on the digital financial market.
