Trump Hints at Recess Appointment for SEC Chair as Bitcoin Nears $90,000
The recent election of Donald Trump as the next president of the United States has sent shockwaves through the financial world, with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies experiencing an unprecedented rally. Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, hit a record high of nearly $90,000, buoyed by expectations of a more crypto-friendly regulatory environment under Trump’s leadership. The surge comes as Trump hints at making sweeping changes to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including replacing Chair Gary Gensler through a controversial recess appointment.
