As an analyst with extensive experience in political and financial markets, I find myself intrigued by the potential appointment of Dan Gallagher as the new SEC Chair under President Trump. Having served as a Republican SEC commissioner during the Obama Administration, Gallagher brings a unique blend of bipartisan knowledge and understanding to the table.
It’s being reported that Donald Trump’s team is contemplating including the Legal Director from Robinhood Markets in a list of potential nominees for the position at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). If this happens, he could be proposed as a candidate to the incoming U.S. President.
According to a report by Reuters on November 7, Dan Gallagher, who served as a Republican commissioner at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from 2011 to 2015 during the Obama Administration and is now the top legal, compliance, and corporate affairs officer at Robinhood, is being considered as the leading candidate by the Trump team to take over the position of SEC Chair currently held by Gary Gensler.
Discussions are currently being held, and among those being considered is Paul Atkins, another ex-GOP SEC commissioner who was part of Trump’s 2016 transition team and a potential candidate for the role at that time. Additionally, Robert Stebbins, partner at law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher, who served as the agency’s general counsel during Trump’s initial presidential term, is also on the list of possibilities.
Trump vowed to dismiss Gensler “from the very first day” of his presidency as part of his appeal to the crypto sector, with some attributing a strict crackdown on cryptocurrencies over the past few years to the SEC chairman’s policies.

It’s common for Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chairs, who are chosen by the president, to leave their positions after a new administration comes into power. President Joe Biden appointed Gensler in 2021, and it was previously announced that he would resign if Trump had won, despite his term not ending until 2026.
Gallagher, Atkins, Stebbins, and the Trump campaign failed to provide a response when asked for a comment promptly.
As an analyst, I’ve noticed speculation about my potential appointment in the past, particularly regarding the possibility of me leading the agency. According to Politico’s recent reports, a former SEC official suggested that I could be a “natural choice” for such a role under the Trump administration.
The selection process, apparently, is expected to last several weeks, and according to one source speaking to Reuters, it’s premature to speculate about who will receive the call.
Gallagher might emerge as a preferred figure within the cryptocurrency sector, with significant financial resources allegedly invested in attempting to sway the election’s outcome.
In May, Robinhood received a Wells notice from the SEC, indicating potential regulatory action against their cryptocurrency operations. This legal dispute will be headed by Gallagher.
Trump will be inaugurated as president on Monday, Jan. 20, 2025.
