Donald Trump, the President-elect, has announced that Jay Clayton, the former SEC Chair, will be appointed as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Clayton has advised several crypto firms since leaving the SEC in December 2020 and was responsible for the production of the SEC's DAO Report. He famously stated that most initial coin offerings were securities, a view shared by his successor, Gary Gensler. Trump described Clayton as a "highly respected business leader, counsel and public servant."

    according to institutional reports, US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman, Clayton, is making a final push to allow the agency to regulate the cryptocurrency market before the Trump administration's term ends and its enthusiasm for digital assets wanes. In a speech prepared for a legal conference in New York on Thursday, Clayton reiterated that the agency should focus on "road rules" applicable to cryptocurrency sales and intermediaries such as brokers and exchanges to support proper disclosure.
