The chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Gary Gensler, has stated that he will resign when Trump takes office in January, which may impact some regulatory rules in the process. The SEC had previously established a rule that could circulate in the cryptocurrency industry, known as 'Regulation ATS', which reopened for public comment in April of this year, aimed at expanding the definition of exchanges and potentially requiring decentralized projects to register with the agency as alternative trading systems. However, Miller Whitehouse-Levine, CEO of the DeFi Education Fund, believes that if Gary Gensler does not adopt the ATS regulation before Trump takes office, it may not be confirmed in the same way in the future, 'or they could scrap it altogether', but it depends on what the SEC's priorities are.
