Trump Nominates 4 SEC and CFTC Picks, Including CLARITY Act Negotiators

President Trump has nominated four individuals for SEC and CFTC positions, including negotiators involved in the CLARITY Act, with the Senate Banking Committee scheduling a November 19 hearing for SEC nominees Kristin Johnson and Steven Levine. The picks signal the administration's intent to shape crypto and securities regulation as the CLARITY Act negotiations continue. The nominations matter because the SEC and CFTC will oversee digital asset market structure rules central to the industry's regulatory outlook.
