Chainlink Lawyer Joins SEC Crypto Task Force

Chainlink Legal Counsel Taylor Lindman Joins SEC

Chainlink Labs’ senior legal counsel Taylor Lindman has joined the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Crypto Task Force as chief legal counsel. This position became vacant after former CFTC Chairman Michael Selig left in December. Chainlink Labs announced Lindman’s departure after five years of service on the X platform, praising his contributions to the modernization of the U.S. financial system. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce also approved the appointment, stating they expect “great things.”

Lindman managed compliance with U.S. and international regulations at Chainlink and discussed token taxonomy and securities record-keeping with the Task Force in March 2025. Previously, he worked at Perkins Coie (2018-2021) and Debevoise & Plimpton (2016-2018). The Task Force was established following policy changes after the Trump administration and also includes industry representatives like Landon Zinda and Veronica Reynolds. The group collects feedback from industry, academia, and market participants for digital asset regulation. This appointment increases expectations for regulatory clarity in terms of LINK detailed analysis.
