According to Odaily Planet Daily, a WSJ article suggests that if Trump returns to the White House, the SEC may ease its legal battles against cryptocurrency exchanges. Although Trump has not revealed his next SEC chairman candidate, rumors have it that several contenders are in the running.
The next SEC chairman may come from experienced regulators and legal giants. Paul Atkins, a former SEC commissioner, is seen as a leading candidate. Since 2022, Mark Uyeda has garnered attention for his support of cryptocurrency positions.
Former Acting Comptroller of the Currency Brian Brooks, former SEC General Counsel Robert Stebbins, heavyweight legal figures Richard Farley and Norm Champ have also joined the competition.
