Trump's new administration will appoint candidates who support cryptocurrency to key positions and take a more lenient stance on cryptocurrencies. Trump is exploring new personnel and policies to relax the regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies in the U.S. Trump's aides are considering appointing 'current regulators, former federal officials, and executives from the financial industry' to key leadership positions, who have a positive attitude towards cryptocurrencies. Additionally, his senior advisors are consulting with cryptocurrency executives about potential federal policy changes. The government's initial discussions are focused on regulatory agencies, including the U.S. SEC. Sources say this process is still in the early stages, and the list of candidates may change. However, some of the individuals being considered include Daniel Gallagher, who currently works for Robinhood, and two Republican commissioners of the U.S. SEC, Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda.
