Mark Uyeda has been appointed as the acting chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by President Donald Trump, replacing outgoing Chair Gary Gensler. Uyeda will serve in an interim capacity until a permanent successor is approved by the U.S. Senate. Uyeda has previously worked as securities counsel and has been critical of the SEC's stance on crypto under Gensler. The Trump administration is also making leadership adjustments at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The appointments come amid speculation about potential executive orders related to digital assets, although no official announcement has been made by President Trump.
