Former SEC Chair Gary Gensler is returning to MIT as a Professor of the Practice of Global Economics, where he will focus on teaching and research in artificial intelligence, finance, fintech, and public policy. Gensler's strict stance on cryptocurrency regulations has sparked curiosity among crypto enthusiasts, with some wondering if his views will change now that he is back in academia. In his exit interview, Gensler acknowledged Bitcoin's potential but emphasized the need for other digital tokens to establish clear use cases and fundamentals. Gensler has been succeeded by Paul Atkins as the new SEC Chair, with Scott Bessent appointed as the new Treasury Secretary, both of whom are expected to be more crypto-friendly.
