Former Chainlink Exec Replaces Michael Selig As SEC’s Crypto Task Force Chief Counsel
Former Chainlink executive Taylor Lindman has been appointed as the new Chief Counsel of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Crypto Task Force, replacing Michael Selig, who moved to the CFTC. Lindman, who served in senior legal roles at Chainlink Labs for five years, will lead legal interpretation, compliance, and risk management efforts. The task force, established under Commissioner Hester Peirce, aims to develop a clear regulatory framework for digital assets. The SEC and CFTC are collaborating on joint initiatives to harmonize rules, clarify jurisdiction, and reduce regulatory fragmentation. Upcoming efforts include guidance on token classification, innovation exemptions, custody rules, and modernizing transfer agent regulations.
