According to previous reports by Zombit, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler announced last month that he will officially step down on January 20, 2025. It is reported that Trump is considering several potential candidates for SEC Chairman, including: former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins, BakerHostetler partner Teresa Goody Guillén, former Acting Comptroller of the Currency Brian Brooks, and current SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, known as "Crypto Mom." Notably, most of these candidates have an open and supportive attitude towards cryptocurrency.
