Key Developments & Data
Former SEC Chairman Jay Clayton takes office as US Director of National Intelligence.
A narrow 51-47 Senate vote confirmed him to succeed Tulsi Gabbard.
And he authorized the landmark SEC lawsuit against Ripple on his final day in office on Dec. 22, 2020.
But he didn't stay away from the sector, later joining Fireblocks and One River Asset Management to guide what institutional clients were looking for.
This appointment shifts national intelligence leadership toward background in financial regulatory policy and digital asset oversight.
