rostin behnam resigns as cftc chair amid regulatory changes in crypto
Rostin Behnam will resign as Chair of the CFTC effective January 20, coinciding with President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. During his tenure, Behnam advanced crypto oversight, leading to significant enforcement actions, including a record fine against Binance and settlements with the Winklevoss twins. Speculation about his successor includes pro-crypto candidates like Republican Commissioners Summer Mersinger and Caroline Pham, as well as former Commissioner Brian Quintenz.
