🏛️ US Senate fast-tracks a Nov. 19 hearing for Trump's new SEC nominees

Within hours of President Trump naming new SEC commissioners, the Senate Banking Committee scheduled a November 19 hearing for them. The nominees are attorney Steven Levine, a former deputy chief of staff to Commissioner Mark Uyeda, and former CFTC member Kristin Johnson, a Democrat.

The Senate Agriculture Committee has not yet set a hearing for the two CFTC nominees, Nathan Anonick and Matthew Rowland. The SEC currently has only two Republican members and the CFTC just one, Chairman Mike Selig.

⭐ Filling empty seats at the two main US crypto regulators before Republicans' Senate window closes could speed up rulemaking that shapes the industry's legal framework.
