šØ BREAKING: Trump Taps Michael Selig as New CFTC Chairman šŗšøš
The crypto landscape just got its biggest jolt of 2025.
According to Bloomberg, President Donald Trump is set to nominate Michael Selig, the SECās top digital asset legal mind, as the next Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
š¼ Who Is Michael Selig?
A true crypto-native and regulatory strategist, Seligās rĆ©sumĆ© speaks volumes:
Former Partner at Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP
Advisor to ex-CFTC Chair Chris Giancarlo
Lead Policy Architect in the SEC Crypto Working Group
His nomination sends a crystal-clear message:
š America wants to lead the global crypto race ā not follow it.
š§© Why It Matters
Seligās leadership could finally end the long-standing turf war between the SEC and CFTC, bringing clarity to U.S. crypto regulation.
A unified rulebook means:
ā
 Clearer compliance for builders
ā
 Greater trust for investors
ā
 Accelerated Web3 innovation
š¬ Industry sources reveal that Seligās selection follows internal debate ā with Brian Quintenz, a former CFTC commissioner, reportedly facing conflict-of-interest flags raised by Geminiās Tyler Winklevoss.
š Whatās Next
Congress recently passed the GENIUS Act, the first U.S. stablecoin regulation bill.
The CLARITY Act ā a broader crypto policy framework ā remains under review.
If confirmed by the Senate, Michael Selig will take the helm at a defining moment for U.S. digital finance.
šŖ A new era of alignment, innovation, and transparency is on the horizon.
