According to Odaily, the White House is anticipated to nominate members of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) who are known for their crypto-friendly stance for key positions in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the U.S. Department of Treasury. Christy Goldsmith Romero, a member of the CFTC, is expected to be nominated as the next chair of the FDIC. In addition, Kristin Johnson, a Democrat member, is also expected to be nominated for the position of Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions at the U.S. Department of Treasury.
These nominations, if confirmed, could have significant implications for the future of cryptocurrency regulation in the United States. Both Romero and Johnson have been known for their positive views on cryptocurrencies, which could potentially influence the direction of financial regulation in the country. However, their nominations are yet to be officially confirmed by the White House.
