Impact on SEC Policy

The new SEC chair will shape policies on issues like cryptocurrency regulation, executive compensation, and corporate disclosures. The administration’s pick will tilt the SEC’s agenda toward either stricter oversight or deregulation.

Next Steps

Trump’s team continues to interview candidates for the SEC role and other key economic positions. The president-elect is expected to announce his full slate of financial regulator nominees soon. The SEC appointment requires Senate confirmation.
