Trump Said to Consider Crypto Lawyer Teresa Goody Guillén to Lead SEC
Summary
Teresa Goody Guillén is a candidate to lead the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under president-elect Donald Trump. She is a partner at BakerHostetler and co-leads its blockchain practice. Crypto companies support her candidacy due to her SEC experience and advocacy for blockchain interests. Goody Guillén is seen as a potential change-maker who could transform the SEC's approach to crypto regulation. The Trump transition team seeks a pro-business leader to reverse the expanded regulatory practices of outgoing chair Gary Gensler. Other candidates for the SEC chair position include Robert Stebbins, Brad Bondi, Paul Atkins, Dan Gallagher, and Brian Brooks. The transition team aims to select an SEC chair before Thanksgiving.
