Trump appoints pro-crypto Mark Uyeda as acting SEC Chair

-

Donald Trump has appointed Mark Uyeda as the acting chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, stepping in for Gary Gensler, who just resigned.

This appointment is seen as a potential game-changer for how cryptocurrencies are regulated in the U.S.

Who is Mark Uyeda, and do we like him?

Mark Uyeda is a Republican commissioner who joined the SEC in 2022 and has been quite vocal about his criticism of Gensler’s aggressive regulatory approach.

During Gensler’s tenure, the SEC ramped up enforcement actions against major crypto players like Ripple, Coinbase, and Binance, which led to a lot of tension between the agency and the crypto industry.

Total control over the industry? What about building instead?

Uyeda has made it clear that he’s not a fan of the SEC’s heavy-handed tactics. He’s particularly critical of policies like SAB 121, which complicated how banks could deal with clients involved in digital assets.

Now, with him at the helm, there’s hope for a more lenient approach that could allow the crypto industry to flourish. Yes, we do like him.

We’re so back?

As Trump takes office, many in the crypto industry are watching closely to see if he’ll follow through on his promises to create a more favorable environment for cryptocurrencies.

With Uyeda’s pro-crypto stance, there’s optimism that we might see significant changes in how cryptocurrencies are regulated.
