Trump team names crypto lawyer Teresa Goody Guillén as SEC chair candidate

According to sources, the Trump team is considering Teresa Goody Guillén, a partner at law firm Baker Hostetler and co-head of its blockchain team, as one of several candidates to be the next SEC chair. Goody Guillén is a seasoned securities lawyer with experience serving the SEC and representing blockchain companies and traditional businesses against the agency. According to sources, Trump is looking for a pro-cryptocurrency non-bureaucrat to overhaul the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). Washington insiders say that unlike Trump's first administration, the election process for the second term was swift and orderly, with the SEC chair expected to be chosen before Thanksgiving.
