SEC's Last Major Legal Official Exits, Leaving Clean Slate for Trump Era

2025-1-17 01:07

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's top lawyer, General Counsel Megan Barbero, will step away next week, joining the exodus of top agency officials who had been responsible for the SEC's legal battles with the crypto industry in recent years.

"Her measured advice and judgment have been critical to the decision making of the Commission," said Chair Gary Gensler, in a statement about Barbero's exit, which is set for January 20. That's the day Gensler, the author of the SEC's crypto stance, is also leaving, just as President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in for a second term.

Barbero was the top lawyer at the agency, responsible for how its legal department conducted its disputes with crypto businesses in federal courts and for advising on its enforcement posture. She had served as general counsel since February 2023.

The SEC's enforcement chief, Gurbir Grewal, left in October, and the accounting head who was behind the agency's controversial crypto accounting policy, Paul Munter, also announced his pending departure this week.
