Selway tapped to run SEC's trading and markets division, sources say
June 4 (Reuters) - Jamie Selway, a long-time market structure and investment technology expert with ties to the crypto sector, has been tapped to run the trading and markets division at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, according to two people with knowledge of the matter. Selway, who withdrew as a candidate for the position in the previous Trump administration, would take charge of a division heavily depleted by this year's voluntary staff reductions at the markets watchdog. The SEC did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Selway declined to comment. The division oversees broker-dealers, stock exchanges, clearing houses, swap dealers and other market players. Selway is currently a partner at Sophron Advisors where he advises clients on strategy and capital formation with a focus on new financial technologies, according to the company's website. He also previously held senior positions at crypto firm Blockchain and BATS Global Markets, a global stock exchange operator. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2015 that while working for the former agency brokerage Investment Technology Group in 2010, Selway had informed the company's compliance team of the apparent improper use by another executive of client data in a new trading project. ITG subsequently paid a record fine over the matter.

23andMe seeks new bids after $305 million offer from its co-founder
NEW YORK, June 4 (Reuters) - Bankrupt genetic testing company 23andMe ( opens new tab told a U.S. bankruptcy judge on Wednesday that it wants to re-open bidding on its assets, including customers' genetic data, after receiving a $305 million offer from its co-founder Anne Wojcicki. 23andMe had previously selected a $256 million bid from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN.O), opens new tab as the lead offer after a bankruptcy auction concluded in May. But it received a later bid from TTAM Research Institute, a new nonprofit founded by Wojcicki, and asked U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Brian Walsh in St. Louis, Missouri, to be allowed to re-engage with potential buyers after determining that TTAM had sufficient financing to proceed with the higher offer. Regeneron is willing to make a new bid for 23andMe's assets, but wants a $10 million breakup fee if Wojcicki's bid is ultimately accepted, its attorney Emil Kleinhaus told the judge. Kleinhaus said Regeneron still wants to buy 23andMe, but believes that it was unfair for the genetic testing company to seek a "do-over" after its earlier auction. "The auction was over, the rules were clear," Kleinhaus said. South San Francisco, California-based 23andMe filed for bankruptcy in March, seeking to sell its business at auction following a decline in consumer demand and a 2023 data breach that exposed sensitive genetic and personal information of millions of customers. The bankruptcy sale will include more than 15 million customer DNA profiles, collected via 23andMe's popular direct-to-consumer saliva-testing kits. The data breach and subsequent bankruptcy filing have drawn scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers concerned that the company's genetic data on millions of customers could be sold to unscrupulous buyers. 23andMe had named TTAM as the backup bidder after its earlier auction, valuing its offer at $146 million.
