Hester Peirce, the crypto-friendly commissioner of the U.S. SEC, is considered a potential successor for the next chairman

Trump has acknowledged the removal of Gary Gensler, the current chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), sparking speculation about potential successors, especially those who may be more crypto-friendly. Hester Peirce is a commissioner at the SEC known for her support of cryptocurrencies. She is considered a potential replacement for Gary Gensler and is referred to as "Crypto Mom" by the community due to her advocacy in this field. Hester Peirce has previously criticized the enforcement approach of the SEC, believing that clearer regulation of the crypto industry will better serve public interest and America's position in global digital finance.
