CFTC’s Caroline Pham Exits for MoonPay Role as Selig Confirmation Looms
Caroline Pham, acting chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, will join crypto payments firm MoonPay following the Senate confirmation of her successor, Mike Selig. Pham's departure marks the end of a four-year tenure at the derivatives regulator, where she spearheaded digital asset policy and implemented President Trump's pro-crypto executive orders through initiatives like the 'crypto sprint.'
Her MOVE to MoonPay signals continued private-sector demand for regulators with crypto expertise. Pham previously served as a Citigroup managing director overseeing market structure initiatives before joining the CFTC.
