Trump sends four SEC and CFTC nominees to Senate, including first Democratic picks

The White House has named two Republicans and two Democrats to fill vacant seats at the SEC and CFTC, the agencies leading crypto policy after the CLARITY Act stalled in the Senate.

Why it matters: The picks would restaff the two agencies that took the lead on crypto policy after the CLARITY Act failed, giving them the quorum to turn proposals into durable rules.

Key points

  • Nathan Anonick and Matthew Rowland are nominated to the CFTC; Kristin Johnson and Steven Levine to the SEC.
  • Both CFTC nominees worked on the CLARITY Act, which collapsed in the Senate this autumn.
  • Levine would take Hester Peirce's SEC seat and Johnson would take Caroline Crenshaw's.

President Donald Trump has sent four nominations to the Senate to fill vacant seats at the SEC and CFTC, in a bipartisan slate that could reshape the agencies writing crypto rules, Decrypt reports. The White House said on 12 November that Nathan Anonick and Matthew Rowland were named to the CFTC, with Kristin Johnson and Steven Levine put forward for the SEC.

The SEC and CFTC nominations pair a Republican with a Democrat at each agency. Anonick and Levine are the Republicans, while Rowland and Johnson are the Democrats, marking the first Democratic picks the administration has sent for either commission. Each nominee needs Senate confirmation.

Rowland is a career CFTC attorney whose enforcement background could add a dissenting voice to a commission that has leaned pro-industry under Michael Selig, its lone Senate-confirmed member.

What to watch: Republicans have a short lame-duck window before the Senate moves to Democratic control in January to confirm the four nominees.
