Christine Johnson, a Democratic commissioner of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) of the United States, said recently that she plans to leave the commission by the end of this year. Johnson said that he had completed his term and had informed the president of his intention to leave.
Johnson began serving as a CFTC commissioner in March 2022. During her tenure, she often talked about topics related to cryptocurrencies. She once stated that the CFTC should “immediately formulate” regulatory requirements for asset custody. She also outlined concerns about decentralized finance and artificial intelligence and called on the agency to engage in dialogue with stakeholders to help formulate rules for digital assets.
Johnson’s departure is the latest in a series of recent departures of commissioners at the CFTC. Previously, committee members Sammer Mersinger, Christie Goldsmith Romero and Caroline Van also announced their resignation plans respectively, which has exposed the agency to significant leadership changes. As the personnel vacancies on the CFTC committee need to be filled by the president’s nomination and confirmation by the Senate, the composition of the agency’s leadership team will undergo significant changes in the future.
