$HBAR there are indeed new developments regarding Brian Brooks and a potential role with the SEC:

Brian Brooks is being mentioned as a potential candidate for the chair of the SEC, following reports of a possible resignation of current chair Gary Gensler.

Brooks is currently a board member of Hedera (HBAR), highlighting his connection to the cryptocurrency industry.

He is considered a crypto-friendly candidate, which could signify a potential change in the SEC's regulatory stance towards cryptocurrencies.

The discussion about Brooks as a possible SEC chair was mentioned today on Fox Business, although it remains speculative at this point.

If Brooks were to be appointed as the SEC chair, he would likely need to resign from his position on the Hedera board and sell his HBAR holdings to avoid conflicts of interest.

These developments suggest a possible shift in SEC leadership that could have significant implications for cryptocurrency regulation.
