Recently, US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Rostin Behnam announced that he will resign on January 20, the day Donald Trump takes office. The cryptocurrency industry is closely following Trump's decision to appoint the next CFTC chairman.

Resignation and Appointment

According to reports, Donald Trump’s transition team has met with several candidates for the CFTC chairmanship as part of his promise to create a crypto-friendly regulatory environment.

Significance for the Crypto Market

Experts say the CFTC chairman election could be critical for the cryptocurrency industry. Under Trump, the CFTC might take a larger role in regulating the $3.5 trillion crypto market, pending congressional approval.

Candidates for the CFTC Chair

Potential candidates include CFTC member Summer Mersinger, Andreessen Horowitz's Brian Quintenz, and Kraken's former chief legal officer Marco Santori. Republican Commissioner Caroline Pham, as well as Neal Kumar and Josh Sterling, are also being considered. Experts cite Brian Quintenz and Summer Mersinger as the most likely candidates.

The decision on the new CFTC chair could significantly impact the future of cryptocurrency regulation in the US. As events unfold, the crypto industry braces for potential changes.
