【Cryptocurrency supporter Paul Atkins becomes a popular candidate for SEC Chairman】Golden Finance reports that, according to informed sources, the transition team of U.S. President-elect Trump has interviewed veteran financial regulators and conservative financial insider Paul Atkins as a candidate for Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Sources say that Atkins is the top contender to succeed the outgoing Gensler. They stated that Trump is expected to make a choice in the coming days, but no decision has been made yet. Atkins served as an SEC commissioner during the George W. Bush administration, after which he founded Patomak Global Partners, a consulting firm serving major financial industry clients. He is a staunch supporter of digital assets and financial technology companies. He has also testified before Congress on how to restructure the agency's operations and reduce what some industry insiders consider redundant or overly burdensome regulatory requirements.
