President Donald Trump nominated Steven Levine to replace Hester Peirce at the SEC, with a term ending June 5, 2030. The nomination is one of four for the SEC and CFTC sent to the Senate on November 12, according to BeInCrypto; the list also names Kristin N. Johnson and Levine for the SEC, and Nathan Anonick and Matthew Rowland for the CFTC. Peirce, known as “Crypto Mom,” led the SEC’s Crypto Task Force before leaving the agency on October 2. Levine, a Republican lawyer who has said little publicly about crypto regulation, joined the SEC in 2020 as senior counsel in the Division of Investment Management and later advised Commissioner Mark Uyeda. He became general counsel at the White House Council of Economic Advisers in February 2025 and senior counselor to the Labor Secretary in November 2026. SEC records show Levine met Grayscale and Invesco-Galaxy in December 2023 about spot Bitcoin ETP applications, then joined Uyeda in a meeting with Paradigm two months later on custody and exchange rule proposals; the records do not state his positions. Johnson, a Democrat, would fill the SEC seat formerly held by Caroline Crenshaw. Biden nominated her to the CFTC, where she served from 2022 until September 2025. In her farewell speech, she said prediction markets lacked guardrails and regulators had limited visibility, raised concern about interference in independent agencies, and said the CFTC likely needed commissioners from both parties. Senate committees will review the nominations, with the Banking Committee handling Levine and Johnson. Nominations pending when the current Congress ends on January 3 are returned to the president.

We come from decentralization, but in reality we have to come back to reality. Regulation and policy have almost dominated the crypto industry. The dragon slayer ends up becoming the dragon himself. This is the eternal cycle of business.

Jensen Huang's departure even caused a stir among immigrants: in the face of Trump's increasingly stringent visa policies, Huang was one of the few leaders willing to speak out publicly and provide support for foreign employees in the tech industry.

The impact of Jensen Huang's departure is spreading from Nvidia to the AI ​​industry chain in the US stock market.

There was no farewell speech, no long-planned handover ceremony, and not even a confirmed successor. A single announcement on Nvidia's website marked the end of Jensen Huang's 33-year tenure at the company.

Before AI grows into a large-scale autonomous procurement entity, it has already become an important entry point for business interaction.
