CFTC Acting Chairman Caroline Pham plans to resign after the new chairman takes office, and Republican Commissioner Summer Mersinger will also become CEO of the Blockchain Association in June. If both of them resign at the same time, the CFTC will only have two commissioners left, forming a 1:1 party ratio. The new chairman is proposed to be Brian Quintenz, the former a16z policy leader, who may affect the CFTC's policy direction if he takes office. At present, the Congress is considering a bill to expand the regulatory authority of the CFTC over cryptocurrencies, and the insufficient number of commissioners may affect the legislative process. （CoinDesk） https://www.
