Mark Cuban: ‘Crypto voters will be heard this election’ – Here’s why

  • SEC-crypto clashes affect election dynamics, industry growth, and voter sentiments.
  • Trump’s and Biden’s crypto stances shift support among voters, revealing a political divide.

As a crypto investor with several years of experience in the industry, I’m closely monitoring the ongoing tussle between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and crypto entities. The SEC’s clashes with prominent players like Ripple, Uniswap, Binance, Coinbase, and Robinhood have made headlines this election year, revealing a political divide that could significantly impact the industry and voter sentiments.


The forthcoming US election presents a distinct atmosphere, primarily driven by the contentious regulatory disputes between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and cryptocurrency companies.

I, as an analyst, have noticed a shift in the news cycle from past years to the present one, with 2024 gaining significant attention due to the heightened scrutiny from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) towards companies such as Ripple (XRP), Uniswap (UNI), Binance (BNB), Coinbase, Robinhood, and others.

Mark Cuban’s insights 

Exploring the subject further, crypto enthusiast Mark Cuban commented on Donald Trump’s recent endorsement of cryptocurrencies, anticipating their potential influence on the forthcoming election. He stated,

If Joe Biden were to lose, it’s likely that you could express gratitude to Gary Gensler and the New York SEC for potentially contributing to that outcome.

Cuban’s statement underscores his apprehensions regarding threats to the growth of the cryptocurrency sector and potential damage to America’s international standing.

Criticizing SEC Chair Gary Gensler for neglecting investor protection, he noted, 

“Gensler HAS NOT PROTECTED A SINGLE INVESTOR AGAINST FRAUD.”  

According to Cuban, Gensler’s actions have posed substantial challenges for legitimate cryptocurrency businesses. Consequently, many companies may have to shut down, and numerous entrepreneurs could be forced out of the industry.

As a analyst looking at this situation, I share the perspective expressed by Hayden Adams, the CEO of Uniswap, during his interview with the “Bankless” podcast. He mentioned this viewpoint separately.

“The SEC is essentially taking very aggressive stances and basically trying to shut down crypto.” 

Should Congress step in? 

As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed an intriguing contrast between the two presidential frontrunners when it comes to accepting digital currency donations. While former President Trump has shown openness to this new form of campaign finance, current President Biden seems resistant. This shift in policy could potentially sway crypto voters’ support towards Trump, as they may feel more aligned with his acceptance and recognition of the growing importance of cryptocurrencies in our financial landscape.

Remarking on the same, Cuban noted, 

As an analyst, I’d like to point out that during a recent “Unchained” stream, executives such as Jake Chervinsky, the chief legal officer of Variant, shared their perspectives on the ongoing dispute between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Coinbase. Chervinsky, among others, provided insights into the disagreement.

It’s high time for Congress to take action and establish clear laws instead of keeping us in a state of regulatory limbo.
