🚨 Trump Taps Paul Atkins for SEC Chairmanship
🇺🇸 Donald Trump has reportedly chosen Paul Atkins as the next SEC chairman, according to sources cited by UnChained. Atkins, a former SEC commissioner under George W. Bush, is recognized for his pro-digital asset stance and fintech advocacy. He founded a consultancy for financial giants and testified in Congress on SEC reforms to ease regulatory burdens.
👀 Atkins is expected to replace Gary Gensler, who will step down on January 20, aligning with Trump’s inauguration. Under Gensler, the SEC aggressively fined U.S. crypto firms, including Coinbase and Kraken.
Market players anticipate a crypto-friendlier SEC under Trump, who vowed to fire Gensler during his Bitcoin 2024 keynote. Could this signal a new chapter for U.S. crypto regulation? 🤔

Arthur Hayes Proposes the Return of ICOs to Save Crypto 🧐
In his essay The Cure, Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, criticizes venture capital (VC)-backed crypto projects for straying from decentralization and massive retail profits. He argues that ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) should return to empower retail investors, provide decentralization, and reignite the excitement of early crypto days.
💡 Why ICOs?
▪️ They bypass VCs and centralized exchanges (CEXs).
▪️Offer high risk but potentially 10,000x rewards.
▪️Encourage viral memetic content and innovative tech development.
Hayes points out that retail investors are shunning VC-backed tokens in favor of memecoins due to better risk-reward dynamics. He sees ICOs as the antidote to the current system, restoring financial dreams for the crypto community.
🔥 His call to action? “Just Say No” to overvalued VC-backed projects and embrace the speculative chaos of ICOs!

💥 Bitcoin’s Wild Ride: From $104K to $90.5K and Back
On the night of Dec. 5-6, Bitcoin plunged over 13%, dropping from its ATH above $104K to $90.5K before bouncing back to $98K. 📉🚀
👀 Rachel Lucas from BTC Markets explained the crash as “leverage unwinding,” triggering stop-losses and forced liquidations. Retail traders overleveraged during the ATH, while whales strategically distributed their holdings. Liquidations spiked to $564M—the highest since June 2024.
🔎 Despite the volatility, market experts at the Emergence conference see no signs of the bull run ending, pointing to relatively low retail involvement compared to previous cycles.
Meanwhile, altcoins stayed calm, with top-10 assets showing modest declines.
