PANews November 27 news, according to Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett, two sources close to discussions at Mar-a-Lago say former SEC commissioner Paul Atkins remains the most popular candidate among the top members of the SEC transition team. Atkins is not only well-versed in cryptocurrency technology but also has a deep understanding of the inner workings of the SEC, having served under two SEC chairmen, Richard C. Breeden and Arthur Levitt, as a commissioner and staff. Atkins is seen as capable of formulating an agenda that supports innovation while restoring what is referred to as the 'gold standard,' which many in the Republican Party believe has disappeared under the leadership of outgoing chairman Gary Gensler.
Now that most of Trump's cabinet picks have been announced, the transition team will turn its attention to filling positions in federal agencies, but it is unclear when these announcements will be made.
