The new leadership of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) new leadership has announced the creation of a task force to develop a regulatory framework for crypto assets, the first major push by the Trump administration to reshape policy around cryptocurrencies.
Acting SEC Chairman Mark Uyeda, named to the role by President Donald Trump in a wave of Inauguration Day appointments, announced the new task force in a Jan. 21 statement. Uyeda, seen as crypto-friendly, will temporarily helm the SEC until Trump’s permanent nominee, Paul Atkins, completes his Senate confirmation process.
