The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has announced a personnel change—Cicely LaMothe, Deputy Director of the Company Finance Department, is about to retire. During her tenure, this official has been instrumental in pushing several key policy breakthroughs in the crypto industry. From clarifying that memecoins are not classified as securities to articulating the regulatory stance on staking mechanisms, she has been involved and is regarded within the industry as a significant force behind the SEC's nearly one-year shift in attitude towards crypto. The impact of this personnel change on future crypto policy directions is worth ongoing attention.

Hey, wait a minute. If she's gone, who will take over these responsibilities? Surely it won't be another hawkish figure...

Damn, does her departure mean that memecoin is going to be messed with again? I'm really worried that the SEC will find a hawkish successor.
