At the Aspen Security Forum on Tuesday, US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler talked about his role in teaching the fintech knowledge at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: "in that work, I came to believe that though there was a lot of hype masquerading as reality in the crypto field, Nakamoto's innovation is real.”

He also mentioned: "I really do think there’s something real about the distributed ledger technology, moving value on the internet... At its core, Nakamoto was trying to create a private form of money with no central intermediary, such as a central bank or commercial bank......Primarily, crypto assets provide digital, scarce vehicles for speculative investment. Thus, in that sense, one can say they are highly speculative stores of value."
