President Donald Trump has elevated Republican Commissioner Mark Uyeda to take over the SEC from a now-departed Gary Gensler.

"Arbitrary" and "capricious" will forever characterize Gary Gensler's tenure at the helm of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, a couple of words used in two crucial rebukes by U.S. courts. Why it matters: The former Goldman partner and veteran regulator established the crypto industry as enemy number one from the outset of his term in 2021.

The newly inaugurated Trump White House taps the contrarian commissioner as temporary head amid a slew of walk-outs from the agency.

A new report from the financial insights firm Cornerstone Research claims that Gary Gensler slowed down crypto enforcement actions in his final year as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chair.

Some crypto firms worry that the agency's harsh enforcement actions may still impact them months or years into a new administration.

Not so long ago, cryptocurrency firms the world over had a common enemy: former US Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler, who had orchestrated a sweeping crackdown on the industry. In their scorn for him, crypto firms were united.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) saw a 30% decline in crypto-related enforcement actions during the final year of former Chair Gary Gensler’s tenure.

Gary Gensler, SEC Chair for 4 years, resigns on January 20, leaving room for new leadership poised for pro-crypto policies under Trump administration.

On Jan. 17, just days before Gary Gensler's final day as SEC chair, a flood of cryptocurrency ETF filings were submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

There has been a wave of crypto ETF filings after Gary Gensler stepped down, including requests to launch DOGE, BONK and TRUMP ETFs.

Several financial giants are reportedly filing for crypto-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as they anticipate the departure of Gary Gensler, the chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Hedge fund industry lobbyists have sent a wish list to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) asking for repeals and delays to much of the regulator's hard-hitting agenda on industry transparency.
