SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda, a potential pick for SEC chair under President Trump, supports a three-step plan to revitalize the U.S. cryptocurrency landscape. This involves providing regulatory clarity, establishing safe harbors for innovation, and collaborating with Congress and other agencies to formulate a cohesive crypto strategy, diverging from the current administration's restrictive approach. Uyeda criticizes the previous SEC chair's strict stance on crypto regulations, advocating for a more transparent and supportive environment for the crypto industry to thrive.
