What happened
Donald Trump sent four nominations to the Senate on 12 November for the SEC and the CFTC, two from each party. Kristin Johnson, a Democrat and former CFTC commissioner, and Republican Steven Levine are proposed for the SEC, with Levine taking the seat held by Hester Peirce, who led the SEC's Crypto Task Force. Nathan Anonick and Matthew Rowland are the CFTC picks, and both have worked for the Senate Agriculture Committee; the nominees have no public crypto stance on record, and Senate Republicans reportedly aimed to clear nominees by 20 November before the lame-duck session ends.
