Gary Gensler's promotion of five senior SEC enforcement officials has sparked follow in the encryption community

Golden Finance reported that Gary Gensler, the still-serving Chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has promoted five senior officials, many of whom are key figures in cryptocurrency-related law enforcement. It is reported that the promotion process usually takes several years, but this time it was done quietly and quickly, raising questions in the encryption community about the timing and purpose. Former SEC official John Reed Stark said that Gary Gensler’s personnel actions were taken before the new Chairman Paul Atkins took office, and these five senior officials may continue to serve in the SEC after Trump takes office, which may lead to conflicts when the new Chairman tries to overturn old policies.
