Internet reports that Trump's transition team is considering pro-crypto Summer Mersinger as chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Mersinger advocates a looser regulatory policy on cryptocurrencies and has criticized the CFTC for handling crypto companies in a "law enforcement supervision" manner. Other candidates include former CFTC Commissioner Jill Sommers and former official Josh Sterling. This move may affect the regulatory direction of the U.S. crypto market.
