Shiba Inu’s Burn Tracker Calls for SEC Chair Gensler’s Resignation Amidst Crypto Community Discontent
In a startling turn of events, Shibburn, the burn tracker of Shiba Inu, has taken a bold stance by publicly demanding the SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s resignation. This unexpected move follows Gensler’s call for public input to enhance the regulatory framework of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which he shared on Twitter recently. In his tweet, Gensler revealed the SEC’s plans to update capital market rules to address emerging industry challenges.
Interestingly, Shibburn, which usually focuses on matters related to the adoption of Shiba Inu’s native token SHIB, participated in this discourse by offering its “tip” to Gensler. While Shiba Inu primarily concentrates on initiatives like Shibarium to drive SHIB adoption, its foray into the regulatory domain underscores the crypto community’s growing discontent.

The crypto sphere’s sentiment towards Gensler has been marked by criticism, with many asserting that his regulatory approach stifles innovation within the United States. Critics allege that Gensler leans towards enforcing stringent regulations, a stance that has garnered calls for his resignation or removal from his role. Congressman Warren Davidson, an advocate for crypto-friendly policies, further escalated the situation by introducing the SEC Stabilization Act in June. This bill not only aims to restructure the SEC but also aims to replace Gensler as its chair.
