Trump's new SEC leadership poised to kick start crypto overhaul, sources say
Published On Jan 15, 2025, 10:12 AM
The new Republican leadership at the SEC, once Donald Trump takes office, is expected to initiate an overhaul of cryptocurrency regulations. Key officials are planning to clarify the definition of securities as they relate to cryptocurrencies, review pending legal cases against crypto firms, and possibly reverse previous tough stances on the industry. Former SEC Chair Gary Gensler is set to step down, and incoming Chair Paul Atkins aims to create a more favorable regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies. This shift has already sparked excitement in the market, with Bitcoin surpassing $100,000 recently.
