The question of who will succeed Gary Gensler remains uncertain. It is unclear whether any of Trump's potential candidates for SEC chair would secure enough votes for Senate confirmation or if Trump plans to rely entirely on recess appointments without official nominations. At the time of publication, Trump had not publicly named any potential replacements for Gensler. One of Trump's campaign promises to the crypto industry was to remove SEC Chair Gensler "on day one" if reelected, though experts suggest he cannot dismiss Gensler without cause. Historically, some regulators have chosen to resign when there is a change in political parties at the White House, but Gensler has not indicated any intention to step down.
