KEY POINTS

  • Former Chairs Mary Jo White and Jay Clayton both resigned within weeks after a new president was elected
  • Crypto users and industry experts believe it is best for Gensler to follow suit before he gets 'forced out'
  • Gensler still has more than a year left in his term that marked Wells Notices and lawsuits against crypto firms
