US Representatives Tom Emmer and Patrick McHenry gave Gary Gensler until the end of the month to answer questions about the SEC’s approach to crypto airdrops.
Two Republican lawmakers are demanding United States Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler answer questions about the classification of crypto airdrops by the end of the month.
Representative Tom Emmer and House Financial Services Committee Chairman Patrick McHenry said in a Sept. 17 letter to Gensler that they’re concerned after the SEC made “assertions about airdrops” in various lawsuits over the last two years.
In September 2022, the SEC sued Hydrogen Technology Corporation and its former CEO for market manipulation of what it called “crypto asset securities.”
