Second Major Resignation After SEC Chairman! CFTC Chairman Also Announces He Will Resign! Warned About Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies!

While US President-elect Donald Trump is expected to take office on January 20, the second major resignation has come after SEC Chairman Gary Gensler.

Speaking to the Financial Times, US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Rostin Behnam said he will resign on January 20, the day Donald Trump is sworn in as president.

Although Behnam did not provide a specific reason for his resignation, his resignation statement increased speculation about a possible change under the Trump administration.

Trump is expected to appoint Republican CFTC commissioners Summer Mersinger or Caroline Pham as interim chair to replace Behnam.

He Talked About Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies!CFTC Chairman Behnam made important statements regarding Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies while announcing his resignation to the FT.

Behnam expressed concern about regulatory gaps in the U.S. crypto market, saying cryptocurrencies need to be more tightly regulated.
Behnam, who expressed concern about the inadequacy of regulation of digital assets, including Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, said,

“There is still a large part of the cryptocurrency space that is unregulated in the U.S. regulatory system, and given the huge demand for these products by both retail and institutional investors, the adoption of some traditional financial institutions poses a great risk and urgently needs to be filled.”

During his tenure, Behnam made several critical moves, most notably spearheading a $4.3 billion settlement against Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, and emphasizing the CFTC’s role in regulating digital commodities.

While the replacement for CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam has not yet been announced, Trump has appointed crypto advocate Paul Atkins as the new SEC chairman, replacing SEC Chairman Gary Gensler.

🚨 CFTC Changes the Rules of the Game: Regulators Abandon Tough Measures! What Does This Mean for Crypto? 💥

The interim head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced a radical change in the approach to regulation: “No more regulation by force.”

Instead, the CFTC will focus on combating “complex fraud” and deceiving retail investors.

1️⃣ End of the “Regulatory Terror”: The CFTC will stop mass lawsuits against projects for technical violations (for example, listing “unregistered securities”).

2️⃣ Focus on “whales”: The main goal is large-scale schemes (like BTC futures manipulation) and protecting retail.

3️⃣ Freedom for DeFi: Protocols without centralized governance (Uniswap, Curve) may escape prosecution.

Scenarios for Traders

Altcoins rise: Projects previously under threat of lawsuits
($SOL , $ADA ) will soar by 10-20%.

Bullish trend for DeFi: Tokens like UNI $AAVE will receive support → target +30%.

Pros:
Reduced pressure on exchanges (Coinbase, Kraken) → increased liquidity.

Acceleration of the launch of ETH-ETF and other institutional products.

Kraken Acquires NinjaTrader for $1.5 Billion to Strengthen Its Presence in the U.S. Futures Market
Kraken, the cryptocurrency trading firm, announced its acquisition of the platform NinjaTrader for $1.5 billion, in a move aimed at expanding the scope of futures and digital derivatives trading in the United States.

NinjaTrader, licensed by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), has served nearly two million users since its establishment in 2003.

Thanks to this acquisition, Kraken will gain a stronger foothold in the derivatives market, where its derivatives trading volume stands at $1.2 billion daily, which is significantly lower than platforms like Binance and OKEx, which record trades in the tens of billions, according to CC data.

The acquisition also indicates Kraken's intention to expand globally, benefiting from its licenses in the United Kingdom, European Union, and Australia.

Arjun Sethi, co-CEO of Kraken, stated that this deal represents the first step towards building an institutional trading platform that allows trading any asset at any time.

This move comes after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dropped a lawsuit against Kraken, which alleged that the latter mixed customer funds with the company’s and operated as an unregistered securities broker.

A bold move that could reshape the future of crypto regulation!

🔥 Coinbase in the crosshairs of the CFTC: what happened?

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has asked Coinbase to provide data on customers who interacted with Polymarket, a decentralized platform for betting on events, including the US election. 🚨 The reason is suspicions of possible violations of the rules.

Polymarket allows users to make predictions on political events through smart contracts. But regulators do not like the lack of control and licenses required for such operations in the United States. 🇺🇸

Now Coinbase finds itself in a difficult situation: protect the privacy of its customers or cooperate with the authorities. 🤔 This again raises questions about the balance between regulations and freedom of the cryptocurrency market.

💭 What do you think? Should centralized platforms share user data? Or does this undermine the principles of decentralization? Write in the comments! 💬
