The CFTC has made a significant leadership move with Chair Michael Selig appointing Amir Zaidi as Chief of Staff. Zaidi's background is particularly noteworthy—he played a key role in launching the CFTC-regulated Bitcoin futures market during the previous administration. This appointment signals continuity in the regulator's approach to digital asset oversight, with experienced leadership now positioned at the core of CFTC operations during a period of renewed focus on cryptocurrency policy.

Now Zaidi is back, it seems the CFTC still wants to get a clear understanding of crypto.
