clayton might be a good pick for crypto, no?

Good point, there seems to have been a conversion since he was SEC chair—when he was decidedly anti—with the Electric Cap and the Fireblocks board, etc.

Personnel is policy, so it does make sense to predict who a presidential candidate would nominate to key offices like Treasury Secretary and SEC and CFTC chairs, even though it's still a guessing game what they'll do in office.

But eliminating regulatory uncertainty, I'm convinced, will come only from new law.

i expect federal admins to be bad or worse for crypto for quite some time, it's fundamentally anti-establishment, and trying to operate within the margins has not worked out well for the big orgs... what would change this other than new legislation?
