Washington's Crypto Revolution Is Shaping Up to Be a Historical Inflection Point in American Finance
Jan 14, 2025 at 10:01 pm
With Gary Gensler, Michael Barr, and Rostin Behnam all set to leave their posts, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) leadership is up for grabs. Whoever fills this crucial role will play a pivotal part in shaping crypto regulation for years to come.
Six candidates have emerged as frontrunners for the CFTC chair position. Each brings a unique perspective on how crypto regulation should evolve under the new administration.
At the top of the list are two current CFTC commissioners: Summer Mersinger and Caroline Pham. Both have been outspoken critics of the "regulation by enforcement" approach that has characterized the Biden years.
Mersinger, in particular, has stood out as a thought leader at the intersection of crypto innovation and consumer protection. Her September dissent on the CFTC's settlement with Uniswap highlighted a nuanced understanding of decentralized finance that is rare among regulators.
Another strong candidate is Brian Quintenz, who currently heads crypto policy at venture capital giant Andreessen Horowitz. His unique position — straddling both the regulatory and innovation sides of the fence — could make him an especially intriguing pick.
Having previously served as a CFTC commissioner from 2017 to 2021, he brings the kind of hybrid experience that might be crucial for navigating crypto's integration into traditional financial markets.
Others in the running include former CFTC commissioner Dan Berkovitz, who is now a partner at law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison; Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) general counsel Dan Gallagher; and former SEC commissioner Paul Atkins.
The CFTC oversees $500 trillion in trading volumes across currencies and financial derivatives. It is currently poised to gain oversight of the spot market for certain digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, where the regulatory landscape remains murky at best.
"Over the past several years, a multitude of domestic and global events tested the resilience of all financial markets," outgoing CFTC Chair Behnam reflected in his resignation letter.
But those tests may pale in comparison to what's coming next.
As Trump's transition team vets candidates for this crucial position, six names have emerged as frontrunners.

Mersinger, in particular, has emerged as a thought leader at the intersection of crypto innovation and consumer protection. Her September dissent on the CFTC's settlement with Uniswap showcased a nuanced understanding of decentralised finance that's rare among regulators.

Let's look at who might end up with their hand on crypto's regulatory rudder.
The Domino Effect
This isn't just about filling seats — it's about dismantling what crypto advocates have dubbed "Operation Chokepoint 2.0."
The exodus of Biden-era regulators comes as evidence mounts of a coordinated effort to restrict crypto's access to banking services.

Coinbase's chief legal officer Paul Grewal, after reviewing unredacted FDIC files, confirmed what many had suspected: there was a "coordinated effort to stop a wide variety of crypto activity — everything from basic BTC transactions to more complex offerings."
The stakes became clearer when Federal Reserve Vice Chair Michael Barr — dubbed by some as "The Fed's Debanker-in-Chief" — announced his resignation. His March 2023 statement that the Fed would "likely view it as unsafe and unsound for banks to directly own crypto-assets" had effectively served as a warning shot to banks considering crypto services.
Crypto venture capitalist Nic Carter has been keeping score. His infamous "wanted poster" of anti-crypto officials shows more than half have now announced resignations, stepped down, or been defeated in elections.
The coordinated departure suggests they see the writing on the wall.
And what’s that? Trump's transition team is preparing a regulatory reset.
The Washington Post reports that Day One executive orders are already drafted to address both the "de-banking" issue and the controversial Staff Accounting Bulletin 121 (SAB 121).
This latter point is crucial. SAB 121, which requires firms to record customers' crypto holdings as liabilities on their balance sheets, has been a major roadblock for institutional adoption. Despite bipartisan support for its repeal — the Senate voted
