Hester Peirce, Crypto-Friendly Commissioner of the U.S. SEC, Considered a Potential Successor to the Next Chairman

 Trump has acknowledged the removal of the current chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Gary Gensler, which has sparked speculation about potential successors, especially those who may be inclined to adopt more crypto-friendly approaches. Hester Peirce is a commissioner of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) who is known for her support of cryptocurrencies and is considered a potential replacement for Gary Gensler. She has been dubbed the "crypto mom" by the community for her advocacy in the field. Hester Peirce has previously criticized the SEC's enforcement-centric approach, believing that regulatory clarity in the crypto industry would better serve the public interest and the United States' position in global digital finance.
