The Trump Administration is gearing up to announce a successor for the SEC Chair position. Paul Atkins is currently the leading candidate, with a 70% probability according to Kalshi traders.
FOX Business sources suggest that the announcement will be made soon. Current SEC Chair Gary Gensler is scheduled to step down in January 2025. Atkins is recognized for his pro-innovation approach to digital assets and has been a critic of regulation through enforcement.
While Atkins is seen as the frontrunner, other candidates are also being considered for the role.
