NEW YORK ― The top US securities regulator, a skeptic towards cryptocurrency who was appointed by President Joe Biden, announced on Thursday he will step down in January when Donald Trump takes office.

Gary Gensler, chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), said he will resign on January 20, the same day Trump assumes the presidency. The move clears the way for the president-elect to pick Gensler's successor.
