Trump is considering Teresa Goody Guillén, a blockchain advocate and ex-SEC attorney, for SEC Chair. Insiders say crypto firms back her for her rare mix of SEC experience and Wall Street ties.
Teresa “Goody” Guillén, a partner at the law firm BakerHostetler, is reportedly being considered by President-elect Donald Trump for the role of SEC Chair. Guillén, a former SEC attorney, is known for her work representing blockchain companies and her support for crypto.
According to Coindesk, Guillén is a strong contender for the role due to her deep experience in both the crypto and legal industries. Several crypto companies are also said to be backing her for the position.
If selected, Guillén could bring significant changes to cryptocurrency regulation in the U.S. Supporters of crypto are optimistic about the possibility of someone with her background leading the SEC.
However, it's important to note that this is just one of the names being considered for the role. Other candidates include Robert Stebbins from Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, Brad Bondi from Paul Hastings, Paul Atkins (a former SEC commissioner), Dan Gallagher, the legal chief at Robinhood, and Brian Brooks, a former acting Comptroller of the Currency.
The final decision on who will be appointed as SEC Chair will be made by President-elect Trump.
