Trump team appoints 3 names for SEC presidency

Donald Trump's team, which was just waiting for the time to become the new owner of the White House, started working immediately. The team responsible for the transition has already identified many candidates for financial regulators, especially the SEC. There are also 3 candidates instead of Gary Gensler.

Donald Trump's transition team, which received a surprisingly comfortable win against Kamala Harris and is officially expected to become the president of the United States on January 20, has already started preparations. The team is working on the names that will be the head of various financial institutions.

The biggest candidate for the SEC is Robinhood executive

According to the detail given by Reuters; The person who has the most chances among the names determined for the SEC is Robinhood legal advisor Dan Gallagher... In October, Politico from the US media also stated that if Trump wins the elections, Gallagher will be the biggest candidate for the presidency of the SEC.

In the news, it was written that Gallagher also had a positive impression in the cryptocurrency world and would receive unofficial approval from here. Gallagher went on strike in the institution as one of the Republican Party's SEC commission members between 2011-2015.

Another of the names that the Trump team considered for the presidency of the SEC was Paul Atkins. Atkins, who is the CEO of financial advisory firm Patomak Global Partners, was also a member of the SEC commissioner of the Republican Party for a while like Gallagher. Atkins was also on Trump's transition team in 2016. Atkins was one of the names considered for the presidency of the SEC at that time.

The 3rd name Trump thought of was Robert Stebbins, one of the people who worked as a general counselor at the SEC.
