A significant shift in crypto regulation: The U.S. Senate confirmed Michael Selig as the new Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on December 18, 2025. Nominated by President Trump in October, Selig brings a notably pro-crypto perspective to the role. His background speaks volumes—he previously served as chief counsel for the SEC's Crypto Task Force, positioning him as someone who understands both the regulatory framework and the industry's needs. This appointment could reshape how digital assets are governed at the federal level.

Finally, the day has come. The pro-crypto leader is finally in place. This time really is different. Selig knows the industry, not the kind of bureaucrat who works behind closed doors. Wait, could it be another case of slogans outweighing actions... I bet five coins that there has been no progress in the past six months.

Wow, Selig really got promoted? Now the SEC folks must be going crazy. The crypto circle finally has someone knowledgeable in charge, not just a bureaucrat who talks big but does little. Everyone says he used to work at the SEC, so he understands the rules and our pain points. Can we finally breathe a sigh of relief this time? Or are we still just chives... Trump played his hand well, with a pro-crypto chairman coming in. It feels like a game of chess, and there are still many cards to play.
