The news regarding Ching’s appointment to the CFTC comes as the federal agency undergoes adjustments to crypto regulation under the new Trump administration.
In recent months, four CFTC commissioners have opted to resign from their positions, with former commissioner Summer Mersinger departing the agency to commence her role as CEO of the Blockchain Association earlier this month.
“There’s a growing crypto caucus in Congress, we have an executive branch that recognizes the inherent advantages of digital assets, and our regulatory agencies have shifted from opposition to collaboration,” Mersinger stated in a June 2 post on X.
“We need to seize this moment and advance pro-crypto policy to completion,” she added.
Commissioner Caroline Pham is expected to vacate her position once Trump’s nominee to lead the CFTC, Brian Quintenz, is confirmed, although a specific date has not yet been established.
Quintenz previously led the CFTC from August 2017 until August 2021, with former commissioner Kristin M. Johnson succeeding him in March 2022.
