US lawmakers send letter to Trump, requesting appointment of a full CFTC Commission roster

According to CoinDesk, several key members of the U.S. House of Representatives have sent a letter to President Trump, urging him to appoint a full roster of Commodity Futures Trading Commission commissioners, including Democrats. The letter points out that a complete commission with five members would better serve the public, especially as the agency takes on cryptocurrency regulatory responsibilities. As new rules emerge and the "Clarity Act" advances in the Senate, the agency is set to become a core force in regulating the crypto industry.
