CFTC Commissioner Mersinger to Be CEO at Blockchain Association

In a move that’ll surprise exactly no one in crypto circles, former CFTC Commissioner Summer Mersinger is taking the reins at the Blockchain Association—because nothing says ’regulatory clarity’ like revolving-door appointments.

The hire signals the industry’s latest chess move in Washington’s influence game, where policymaking often lags three innovation cycles behind reality. Mersinger—who voted against multiple enforcement actions during her tenure—now gets to lobby her former colleagues. How... efficient.

Wall Street bankers clutching their pearls: This is what happens when you slow-walk crypto frameworks for a decade. The talent goes where the action is.
