**Trump Vows to Replace SEC Chair Gensler, Eyes Pro-Crypto Future**

At a recent Bitcoin conference in Nashville, Donald Trump announced plans to replace SEC Chair Gary Gensler with a pro-crypto candidate if elected. Trump aims to make the U.S. a leader in the crypto space, but acknowledges the need for investor protection and regulatory oversight.

**Key Points:**

- **Ethereum ETFs:** Spot Ethereum ETFs launched, but staking remains absent due to regulatory hurdles.

- **On-Chain Compliance:** Trump’s nominee should push for blockchain-based solutions for reporting and settlement.

- **KYC and Custody:** Modernize rules to include self-custody wallets and enhance investor protections.

- **Regulating DEXs:** Clarify regulations for decentralized exchanges to ensure they meet traditional standards.

- **Tokenized Dollars:** Foster a robust market for USD-backed real-world assets on blockchain.

Trump’s vision includes leveraging blockchain technology within existing regulatory frameworks to secure America’s dominance in the digital economy.
