President Donald Trump has nominated Michael Selig, chief counsel for the SEC's crypto task force, to lead the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The move signals a coordinated push toward pro-crypto regulation between the SEC and CFTC.

Selig's appointment follows intense lobbying by crypto billionaire twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who opposed Trump's prior nominee, Brian Quintenz, due to conflicts over Gemini's regulatory history. Selig's leadership is expected to shape critical policies on digital assets and prediction markets at an understaffed CFTC.

Meanwhile, Custodia Bank and Vantage Bank Texas have launched a live platform for tokenized deposits, expanding their blockchain-based financial services.
