Golden Finance reports that an article from the WSJ suggests that once Trump returns to the White House, the US SEC may relax its legal battles against cryptocurrency exchanges. Although Trump has not yet disclosed the next SEC chairman's candidate, rumors suggest that there are several contenders vying for the position after Gary Gensler's resignation. The next SEC chairman 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 considered a strong candidate. Additionally, since 2022, Mark Uyeda has gained attention for his pro-cryptocurrency stance, aligning with Trump's regulatory views. Former Acting Comptroller of the Currency Brian Brooks and former SEC General Counsel Robert Stebbins have also become strong contenders. Heavyweights in the legal field Richard Farley and Norm Champ have also joined the competition.
