The shift of U.S. SEC regulatory power to Republicans may accelerate crypto rulemaking.
Coin World News: With Hester Peirce officially leaving the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 2, the agency now has only two commissioners left, and regulatory power has shifted to the Republican Party. Previously, Democratic commissioners Jaime Lizárraga and Caroline Crenshaw had also departed, while current Chair Paul Atkins and Commissioner Mark Uyeda are both Republicans. Atkins was nominated by Trump, and Uyeda had been appointed by Trump as acting chair before Atkins was confirmed. This change marks a major shift from the Gary Gensler era, which was widely seen as hostile to the crypto industry. The smaller Atkins-Uyeda pairing may move faster on tokenization, custody, ETFs, and clearer crypto rules.
