As a seasoned researcher with a keen eye for political trends and a deep understanding of the financial sector, I find the recent developments surrounding Caroline Crenshaw’s nomination for a second term at the SEC intriguing. The cancellation of the Senate Banking Committee session has added another layer to this complex narrative, potentially delaying her confirmation until after the power shift in January.
The Senate Banking Committee postponed a meeting to review and approve Caroline Crenshaw’s nomination for another term at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
As per the latest update from December 17, the banking committee has decided to postpone their meeting scheduled for December 18. The reason behind this is that they will not be voting on the nomination of Crenshaw to the SEC or Gordon Ito to the Financial Stability Oversight Council during this session.
Due to the suspended meeting, it’s becoming less and less probable that the Democratic senators will endorse Crenshaw’s appointment before the Republicans assume control over the chamber in January.
Commissioner Crenshaw, who worked with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) during both the Trump and Biden administrations, will see her term end in June 2024. However, she is allowed to continue serving at the SEC for an additional 18 months following the expiration of her term.
Crypto interest groups opposing Crenshaw’s nomination had been calling for US lawmakers to vote against her, claiming that she was “more anti-crypto” than SEC Chair Gary Gensler.
Over forty groups urged senators to endorse her nomination, indicating that it was highly unlikely for President Trump to appoint any Democratic members of the Securities and Exchange Commission during his term.
The structure of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and its stance on cryptocurrency regulation was a key promise Trump made during his election campaign to the industry. He vowed to dismiss Gensler immediately upon being elected, and hinted that crypto users would find the SEC more favorable under his leadership.
Will there be a bipartisan SEC under Trump?
At present, Crenshaw serves alongside two other Democratic members at the SEC – Chair Gensler and Commissioner Jaime Lizárraga. However, both Gensler and Lizárraga are set to depart from the commission in January, marking the end of their respective terms.
It’s uncertain if Senate Republicans will consider Crenshaw’s nomination once they take control of the chamber on Jan. 3, or if Trump might appoint another commissioner in her place instead. If confirmed, Crenshaw could stay at the SEC until 2029; otherwise, she may be replaced before 2026 or her position could remain vacant.
Trump indicated his plan was to put forward Paul Atkins, a previous SEC commissioner, as Gensler’s successor when he assumed office in January. Additionally, he revealed the appointment of a “Czar for AI and Crypto”, David Sacks, who was the former chief operating officer at PayPal.
