CFTC’s Summer Mersinger named CEO of Blockchain Association

The Blockchain Association has appointed CFTC Commissioner Summer Mersinger as its new Chief Executive Officer, signaling a shift in leadership as the crypto industry confronts growing regulatory scrutiny in Washington. Mersinger will step into the role on June 2, following her departure from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission , where she has served since 2022, according to the Blockchain Association. Her last day at the agency will be May 30. A veteran of both Capitol Hill and federal regulatory agencies, Mersinger brings more than 20 years of public policy experience, including as a longtime advisor to Senator John Thune.

As CEO, Mersinger will lead the Association’s efforts to push for clear, innovation-friendly digital asset regulations. “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Commissioner Mersinger,” said Marta Belcher, President of the Association’s Board. “She is the ideal leader for this moment.” Mersinger succeeds Kristin Smith, who has led the Blockchain Association since its inception. Under Smith, the organization grew from a single staffer to a major lobbying force with over 125 member companies.
