Executives from Bitwise, Ripple, and Coinbase voiced their support for former SEC commissioner Paul Atkins to lead the agency after Gary Gensler’s departure.
Many executives representing high-profile cryptocurrency companies in the United States have weighed in on President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for the next chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the feedback has mostly been positive.
In a Dec. 5 Bloomberg interview, Bitwise Asset Management general counsel Katherine Dowling said former SEC commissioner Paul Atkins was a “great choice” to lead the regulatory body.
She hinted that he could be less “antagonistic” to members of Congress than Gary Gensler, the current SEC chair who will resign on Jan. 20.
