SEC Hires Experienced Blockchain Exec to Drive Trading & Market Oversight

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has expanded its team with the appointment of two industry veterans. Jamie Selway, former global head of institutional markets for Blockchain.com, will serve as director of trading and markets. Brian Daly, a partner at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer and Feld LLP with significant expertise in cryptocurrency, will lead the SEC’s investment management division. These appointments come as lawmakers are examining legislation to clarify the SEC and CFTC’s authority over digital assets.
