According to Cointelegraph, Gery Gensler, the Chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), announced his intention to resign on January 20, 2025.

It is reported that Trump may attempt to bypass some appointment confirmation procedures through recess appointments, but this will require Congress to vote for recess, which Congress may not be willing to do unless the nominee is uncontested. @ftrddc
