Odaily Planet Daily News WSJ's article suggests that once Trump returns to the White House, the U.S. SEC may ease its legal battles against cryptocurrency exchanges. Although Trump has not revealed his nominee for the next SEC chair, rumors have it that several competitors are vying for the position after Gary Gensler's resignation. The next SEC chair could come from a pool of experienced regulators and legal giants, each bringing unique expertise. Paul Atkins, who served as an SEC commissioner from 2002 to 2008 and currently leads financial consulting at Patomak Global Partners, is seen as a strong candidate. In addition, since 2022, Mark Uyeda has gained attention for his pro-cryptocurrency stance, which aligns with Trump's regulatory views. Former Acting Comptroller of the Currency Brian Brooks and former SEC General Counsel Robert Stebbins have also emerged as strong contenders. Legal heavyweights Richard Farley and Norm Champ have also joined the competition.
