Potential candidate: Dan Gallagher

Dan Gallagher, a former SEC commissioner, is known for advocating the classification of cryptocurrencies as a separate asset class. He is currently the chief legal and compliance officer at Robinhood and is a popular pick among crypto executives.

Legal aspects of Chair change

According to US law, a president cannot fire an executive agency commissioner without cause. This also applies to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who was appointed by Trump in 2018.

Changes in the SEC and other agencies' leadership are often tied to shifts in the White House. However, appointing a new chair requires adherence to legal procedures, which may affect the timing of power reassignment.
