Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Commissioner Kristin Johnson revealed plans to step down at year-end, marking another high-profile exit from the derivatives regulator. The Emory University law professor, appointed during the TRUMP administration, cited pride in her accomplishments but offered no specific reason for the departure.

Johnson’s exit coincides with broader turnover at the CFTC as the agency grapples with evolving cryptocurrency oversight. Her statement emphasized collaboration with staff and fellow commissioners, though conspicuously avoided mentioning digital asset regulation—a key battleground during her tenure.
