According to Eleanor Terrett on Twitter, both CFTC Commissioners Mersinger and Goldsmith Romero will be leaving by the end of May 2025, resulting in only Democrat Kristin Johnson and Republican Caroline Pham remaining. Caroline Pham has also announced her intention to depart when Brian Quintenz becomes chair, though Quintenz has not yet assumed the role. This leadership transition at the CFTC introduces significant regulatory uncertainty for cryptocurrency markets, as the agency's direction on digital asset policy and enforcement remains unclear. Traders should monitor developments closely, as evolving CFTC leadership could impact crypto regulation and market sentiment (Source: Eleanor Terrett, Twitter, May 16, 2025).
