This week, Bitcoin's momentum has slowed, with smaller coins like Cardano and XRP trading within a narrow range.The outgoing chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Gary Gensler, reluctantly allowed U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs to list in January following a court ruling in 2023. The agency later also greenlit a portfolio for Ethereum, the second-largest digital asset.Gensler has been a critic of the volatility and scandals in the cryptocurrency industry. He will be leaving the SEC, and Trump is expected to appoint someone supportive of digital assets as the head of the SEC, which could pave the way for ETFs of other tokens.According to insiders, Trump's transition team has interviewed veteran financial regulator Paul Atkins, a conservative financial figure, as a candidate to lead the SEC. Sources say Trump is expected to make a choice in the coming days, but no decision has been made yet.Following the news, Bitcoin surged 6% on Wednesday, while Ethereum jumped over 10% during the day.Atkins served as a Republican commissioner at the SEC during the George W. Bush administration and later founded Patomak Global Partners, a consulting firm serving major clients in the financial industry. He is a strong supporter of digital assets and fintech companies. He has also testified before Congress on how to restructure the agency's operations and reduce regulations that some industry participants consider redundant or overly cumbersome.Trump himself was previously a skeptic of the industry, but his stance changed after the industry invested heavily to promote its interests during his campaign
