Brian Brooks, former CEO of Binance.US and a board member of the HBAR Foundation, may become one of the heads of US financial regulators under the Donald Trump administration. Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett reported this, without specifying which agency she is talking about. Brooks may take a position at the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), or even the Federal Reserve systеm (Fed).
Brooks previously headed the US division of Binance and served as the comptroller of the currency. At that time, his views were criticized, in particular, for allegedly excessively promoting the interests of crypto companies.
