Bitcoin rises after US SEC chair says he will step down

Bitcoin rises after US SEC chair says he will step down

In a post on X, Gensler confirmed he would resign from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on 20 January.

Trump had previously said he intended to fire Gensler on "day one" of his presidency after the chair of the SEC took legal action against cryptocurrency trading and platforms.

"I thank President Biden for entrusting me with this incredible responsibility," Gensler wrote.

Gensler was appointed chair of the SEC in 2021 and immediately called on Congress to give him more powers to regulate the "wild west" crypto-sector, saying that it was "rife with fraud, scams and abuse".

Favourites face questions before wide-open showpiece

There have been many renewals of the King George VI Chase in recent years which revolved around a clear market leader but there is no obvious starting point for weighing up this year's race at Kempton today, as nine of the 11 runners already have at least one Grade One victory over fences to their name and at least four - Spillane's Tower, Banbridge, Grey Dawning and Il Est Francais - could conceivably set off as favourite.
