The crypto community is calling out the hypocrisy of Gary Gensler, the head of the United States securities regulator, after a 2018 video emerged of him stating that cryptocurrencies are on par with commodities or cash and are not securities.

"Three-quarters of the market is non-securities, it's just a commodity, cash,crypto,” Gensler then said. The below cli...
