New CFTC Leader Takes Charge of Crypto and Digital Asset Oversight
On January 22, the CFTC announced key leadership changes, including Harry Jung as Acting Chief of Staff, to strengthen oversight of cryptocurrencies and digital assets. Jung, appointed in 2023, will lead the CFTC’s engagement on crypto and DeFi.
These changes come shortly after President Trump appointed Caroline D. Pham as Acting Chairman. Meanwhile, the SEC also undergoes leadership shifts, with Mark Uyeda named Acting Chair following Gary Gensler’s resignation. Uyeda aims to focus on capital formation and innovation, signaling a broader trend towards more crypto-friendly policies in the U.S.
