The White House transmitted four nominations on November 12, 2026, for commissioner seats at the CFTC and SEC, comprising two Republicans and two Democrats. Nathan Anonick and Matthew Rowland are headed to the CFTC, while Kristin N. Johnson and Steven Levine are slated for the SEC. All four have experience with crypto policy, including Johnson, a former CFTC commissioner who focused on digital asset custody and decentralized finance. Anonick and Rowland also worked on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which seeks to clarify which agency should oversee each type of digital asset. The SEC nominees are scheduled to appear before the Senate Banking Committee on November 19, 2026, with confirmation expected before Democrats take control of the Senate in January 2027.
