Ji Kim, CEO of the Crypto Council, said:

“Strong, bipartisan representation is essential to developing durable rules that safeguard markets, protect consumers, and keep the U.S. leading on innovation.

Nathan’s deep expertise across traditional and digital asset markets would make him an outstanding addition to the CFTC. I’ve seen his leadership, substance, and work ethic up close, and I know he will bring the same to the CFTC. He cares deeply about getting policy right, and our markets will benefit from his thoughtful and rigorous approach.

Matt has more than a decade of experience at the CFTC, most recently as a CFTC detailee to the Senate Ag Committee. That institutional knowledge will serve the CFTC well as it implements new rules. I’ve always respected his command of the issues and his willingness to engage directly.

Kristin brings a rare combination of government service and academic depth, including her prior tenure as a CFTC Commissioner. I always appreciated her expertise and transparent approach, and she will bring both to the SEC. Her understanding of innovation and investor protection will serve the SEC well.

Steve brings valuable experience from his prior service at the SEC and as General Counsel of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. His perspective and knowledge will certainly be an asset as the SEC modernizes its rulebook and takes on other important regulatory matters.

Both the CFTC and SEC will continue to play central and consequential roles in our financial markets, and together these nominees bring a wealth of experience and expertise that will help ensure continued American leadership. 🇺🇸”
