Washington’s crypto playbook flipped on May 14 when Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Commissioner Summer Mersinger agreed to helm the Blockchain Association, leaving the regulator for the industry’s most influential trade group. Summer Mersinger to Leave CFTC According to a post published on the Blockchain Association’s official X account, Mersinger will leave her position at the federal regulator on May 30 and formally join the crypto trade group on June 2. The Blockchain Association cited Mersinger’s “experience with the regulatory challenges facing the digital assets ecosystem” and her advocacy for a crypto framework “that balances consumer protection with technological innovation” as reasons for her selection. 1/ We’re pleased to announce that CFTC Commissioner Summer Mersinger has been chosen as the new Blockchain Association CEO.

Smith praised Mersinger in a Wednesday morning X post, saying the Blockchain Association is in “excellent hands” with the regulator. “At this pivotal moment for crypto in Washington, Summer is the perfect leader,” Smith said. “With 20+ years of experience across both chambers of Congress and the CFTC, she’ll play a key role in our industry’s future.” Mersinger began her tenure at the CFTC in March 2022 under then-U.S. President Joe Biden, where she pushed for common-sense crypto regulation .
