According to ChainCatcher, The Block reports that SEC Chairman Gary Gensler has indicated he will resign when Trump takes office in January, which could affect some regulatory rules in the process.
The SEC had previously drafted a rule that could circulate in the cryptocurrency industry, called "Regulation ATS," which reopened for comments in April of this year, aiming to broaden the definition of exchanges and potentially requiring decentralized projects to register with the agency as alternative trading systems.
However, the CEO of the DeFi Education Fund, Miller Whitehouse-Levine, believes that if Gary Gensler does not adopt the ATS regulations before Trump's inauguration, it may not confirm those regulations in the same way in the future, "or they could scrap it all," depending on what the priorities of the SEC are.
