"Blockchain Association Calls for Gensler's Recusal in Crypto Enforcement"

The Blockchain Association has claimed that SEC Chair Gary Gensler must step back from digital assets according to federal law. The association argues that Gensler has shown bias against the crypto space and has failed to provide clear rules and guidance. They believe that Gensler's preconceived notions about digital assets could taint future legal proceedings and have called for his recusal. This is not the first time such a request has been made, with Ripple and LBRY previously stating that Gensler's public comments disqualify him from participating in future legal proceedings.
