Sources: Former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins remains the most popular candidate to lead the SEC transition team

Odaily Planet Daily News: FOX Business reporter Eleanor Terrett stated in an article on X that according to two sources close to discussions at Mar-a-Lago, former SEC commissioner Paul Atkins remains the most popular candidate among the top transition team members leading the SEC. Atkins is not only proficient in cryptocurrency technology, but also has a deep understanding of the internal operations of the SEC. He has served as two SEC chairpersons, Richard C. Commissioner and staff of Breton and Arthur Levitt. Atkins is believed to be able to set an agenda that supports innovation while restoring the so-called 'gold standard' of the institution, which many Republicans believe has disappeared under the leadership of outgoing chairman Gary Gensler. Now that most of Trump's cabinet candidates have been announced, the transition team will shift their focus to filling positions in federal agencies, but it is unclear when these announcements will be released.
