President-elect Donald Trump is currently selecting nominees for key positions in his administration, particularly focusing on the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which will likely have an increased role in regulating cryptocurrencies and digital assets. Trump previously stated his goal to make the U.S. the 'crypto capital of the planet'. Leading candidates for CFTC chair include Perianne Boring, founder of The Digital Chamber, as well as current commissioners Summer Mersinger and Caroline Pham, all of whom support a friendlier regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies.
