CFTC Commissioner Summer Mersinger Named New Head of Blockchain Association—Regulator Goes Crypto-Native
In a move that’ll have TradFi suits choking on their artisanal coffee, CFTC Commissioner Summer Mersinger is taking the reins at the Blockchain Association. The regulatory veteran—known for her pragmatic approach to crypto oversight—just swapped her rulebook for a MetaMask wallet.
Mersinger’s appointment signals a tectonic shift: watchdogs aren’t just barking at the crypto kennel anymore—they’re jumping the fence. Her deep DC connections and fintech fluency could finally bridge the gap between DeFi’s cowboy culture and Washington’s bureaucratic machinery.
One thing’s certain: when the next bull run hits, the association’s lobbying firepower just got a serious upgrade. Wall Street’s compliance officers might want to start studying... or start sweating.
