President Donald Trump has nominated four candidates to fill vacancies at the SEC and CFTC, including two Democrats and two Republicans, as US cryptocurrency regulation faces renewed uncertainty. Former CFTC Commissioner Kristin Johnson and attorney Steven Levine are Trump’s picks for the SEC, while Nathan Anonick and Matthew Rowland have been nominated to the CFTC. All four appointments require Senate confirmation. The nominations come as Democrats prepare to take control of both congressional chambers in January. Meanwhile, the CLARITY Act remains stalled, leaving the SEC and CFTC to shape crypto oversight through existing regulatory powers.
