Jim Cramer thanks SEC Chairman Gary Gensler
Recently, the host of famous CNBC’s Mad Money show, Jim Cramer, thanked the chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission for not approving a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund. Cramer is a popular hedge fund manager who co-founded one of the best financial news and literacy site, Thestreet.com.
Crypto lender Genesis Global Capital LLC is part of a subsidiary of venture capital firm DCG. Genesis filed for bankruptcy following an SEC lawsuit alleging the company and the popular crypto exchange Gemini offered and sold unregistered securities to retail investors through the Gemini Earn crypto asset lending program.
Another Digital Currency Group subsidiary is digital asset manager, Grayscale Investments, which has been trying to convert its flagship Bitcoin Trust into a spot bitcoin ETF. However, the securities watchdog has not approved the company’s filing. In June last year, Grayscale also filed a lawsuit against US SEC, challenging the regulator’s decision to reject its bitcoin ETC application.
Moreover, one of the biggest news channels, Bloomberg, reported earlier this month that the US DOJ’s Eastern District of New York and the SEC are investigating the internal transfers between Genesi and DCG.
