Trump's Potential Picks for SEC Chair Amid Calls for Gensler's Resignation

As speculation grows over potential replacements for SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, who may leave his position before his term ends in 2026, Trump's transition team is considering candidates with a focus on cryptocurrency regulation. Dan Gallagher, a former SEC commissioner and current Robinhood executive, and Paul Atkins, a former SEC commissioner and CEO of Patomak Global Partners, are among the names being floated. Both have criticized Gensler's approach to crypto regulation. Mark Uyeda, another SEC commissioner, has also expressed the need for change in the agency's crypto policies.
