Economist Timothy Peterson believes that the election of Donald Trump as the US President will have a transformative impact on Bitcoin and the overall digital asset market. Peterson suggests that the potential ousting of current SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, known for his aggressive stance on regulating digital assets, could lead to a more innovation-friendly regulatory environment. He proposes that Hester Peirce, known as "Crypto Mom" for her pro-crypto stance, could be a strong candidate to replace Gensler. Peterson also highlights the departure of Senator Sherrod Brown, a crypto opponent, as a positive move and suggests that pro-Bitcoin figures in Congress could shape legislation that supports cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. Additionally, Peterson mentions Trump's complicated relationship with Bitcoin and the potential influence of pro-crypto figures surrounding him in guiding the administration towards favorable policies.
