Paul Atkins, Trump’s pick for SEC chair, may face a Senate hearing on March 27. The delay is due to financial disclosure issues regarding his marriage into a billionaire family, affecting his potential start date.

Atkins, a former SEC commissioner, is expected to take a collaborative approach in regulating the crypto market. He was chosen by Trump on Dec. 4 and may face a vote by the Senate at a later date.

The SEC, under acting chair Mark Uyeda, has dropped investigations and lawsuits against major crypto firms. The commission is also considering abandoning rules requiring crypto firms to register as exchanges and may axe proposed crypto custody regulations.
