Summer Mersinger, a prominent Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) commissioner, will step down from her role on May 30 to assume leadership of the Blockchain Association starting June 2. Her departure coincides with a pivotal moment for digital asset legislation in Washington, as the advocacy group intensifies efforts to advance market structure and stablecoin reforms.
Mersinger’s regulatory expertise and Capitol Hill experience positioned her as a top contender for CFTC chair in a potential Trump administration. The Blockchain Association emphasized her qualifications during what it described as an exhaustive selection process. The move signals growing institutional alignment between regulators and the crypto industry.
