As the preparation for new leadership in the SEC in the U.S. gains momentum, several notable figures emerge as candidates for the regulator's chairmanship.

Dan Gallagher's Background and Perspective

Dan Gallagher, a former SEC commissioner from 2011 to 2015, is being considered for the SEC Chairman position. His experience in financial regulation and his role at Robinhood, a platform actively involved in traditional and cryptocurrency trading, make him a strong candidate. Gallagher also has the support of crypto executives who have financed Trump's campaigns, which may significantly boost his chances for appointment.

Trump's Team SEC Leadership Candidates

Trump's transition team is actively working on creating a list of candidates for key positions in U.S. financial agencies. Dan Gallagher is leading this list, but other candidates include Paul Atkins, a former SEC commissioner and CEO of Patomak Global Partners. Another candidate is Robert Stebbins, a partner at the law firm Willkie Farr, who has extensive experience in securities law issues.

Alternative Candidates: Uyeda and Peirce

Mark Uyeda, a sitting SEC commissioner, is also being considered as a likely successor. With the support of Republicans, he may be the preferred candidate for ensuring continuity in financial regulation. Hester Peirce, known as 'Crypto Mom' for her more lenient stance on cryptocurrencies, is also popular within the crypto industry, though Trump's team's support remains with Gallagher.

The decision on who will become the next SEC Chairman remains open. While Dan Gallagher holds a strong position, he faces competition from other influential candidates.
