The chairman of the CFTC, Rostin Behnam, will leave his post on January 20, when Donald Trump takes office as president. This will open the way for the appointment of a new head, allowing for a revision of the cryptocurrency policy. It is expected that Trump will temporarily appoint one of the Republican commissioners of the agency. Behnam, who has been more supportive of the crypto industry, acknowledged that regulation in this area in the U.S. remains insufficient. The CFTC plans to take on the role of regulating digital commodity assets.
