Sounds like complying in advance.

His term would have lasted until 2026. Trump already said he wanted to fire him, but the process for firing the SEC chair isn't as easy as some other positions: https://fortune.com/crypto/2024/08/06/trump-says-he-would-fi...

Can’t imagine his job would have been much fun in a pro crypto environment. That he’s goes as Trump arrives is no coincidence.

This is likely good news for everyone. If you're pro-crypto, gensler is the guy who had it in for your whole industry and acted dishonesty to achieve his goals. If you're anti, he's the guy who totally failed to deliver on those anti crypto promises and wasted enormous amounts of time and money losing cases against everyone (whilst conveniently ignoring actual frauds).
