The Approval Process for Mike Selig at CFTC Has Begun

Former U.S. President Donald Trump's nominee for the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Mike Selig, will enter the Senate confirmation hearing on November 19, 2025. Selig currently heads the Crypto Task Force within the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). His nomination came following the withdrawal of former CFTC commissioner Brian Quintenz.

If confirmed, Selig will lead the CFTC and play a crucial role in the process of Congress finalizing a bill that could authorize spot trading of cryptocurrencies.
