Trump nominates Kristin Johnson and three others to SEC and CFTC
Trump nominated four people to the SEC and CFTC, two Democrats and two Republicans, including former CFTC commissioner Kristin Johnson. One seat is the one Hester Peirce held, and two of the picks helped shape the Clarity Act. The mix of nominees and their ties to crypto legislation make the slate worth watching for how U.S. market regulation of digital assets could shift.
