Crypto ally Mark Uyeda to serve as interim SEC chair

President Trump’s administration has picked pro-Bitcoin Mark Uyeda as the interim chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. President Donald Trump has selected crypto ally and SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda to lead the SEC temporarily, pending Senate confirmation of Paul Atkins, Trump’s nominee for the agency’s permanent chair. The announcement came just hours after Trump was sworn in, officially assuming his position as the country’s first “crypto President.” Uyeda’s name was floated last year as a potential successor to Gary Gensler, the former SEC chair. However, Trump has nominated digital asset entrepreneur and former SEC official Paul Atkins to take over the commission’s leadership permanently.
