Donald Trump

Chair

Paul Atkins, President-elect Donald Trump's leading choice for the next head of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is reportedly reluctant to accept the role, according to sources familiar with his thinking.
Atkins, a former SEC commissioner and a prominent advocate for the cryptocurrency industry, is said to see the position as a daunting challenge, especially since he sees the agency as having been mismanaged under SEC Chairman Gary Gensler. Atkins reportedly sees cleaning up Gensler’s “mess” as a significant deterrent to taking on the job.
Atkins’ hesitations appear to have been echoed by other regulatory figures, including former Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Chris Giancarlo. A staunch advocate of pro-crypto policies and a supporter of Atkins’ candidacy, Giancarlo has also expressed concerns about the significant work needed to reform the SEC. Giancarlo himself was once considered a candidate for SEC chairman.
