What happened
Trump has proposed a bipartisan slate of two Republicans and two Democrats for the SEC and CFTC, his first Democratic picks for either commission. The nominations would refill commissions that have been central to crypto policy since the Clarity Act collapsed. The source gives no nominee names, confirmation timetable or policy positions, so the detail needed to judge the impact on crypto market-structure rules is not yet available.
