Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is reportedly considering several candidates to replace Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler, according to Unchained. Harris is said to be vetting Georgetown Law professor Chris Brummer and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Chair Erica Williams for the role. Both candidates are seen as more crypto-friendly than Gensler. However, it's unclear if Harris has a frontrunner for the job. A source told Unchained that "the Harris campaign is wary of embracing pro-crypto stances before the election for fear of alienating progressives." Gensler has been a vocal critic of cryptocurrency, calling it a "Wild West" and warning investors of its risks. He has also taken enforcement actions against several crypto companies. If elected, Harris would have the opportunity to appoint a new SEC chair who is more sympathetic to the cryptocurrency industry. This could have a significant impact on the regulation of cryptocurrency in the United States.
