Crypto Industry Awaits Departure of SEC Chair Gary Gensler

The departure of Securities and Exchange Commission chiefs upon the arrival of a new president is a common occurrence, and the crypto industry is eagerly anticipating Chair Gary Gensler's exit. Gensler has faced opposition from digital asset leaders and congressional allies who accuse him of hindering innovation, but he still has time to engage in crypto policy and enforcement before his departure. Ultimately, a new leader will take over the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and many in the crypto industry will likely welcome the change.
