Kristin Johnson, who serves as the commissioner at the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, among four other commissioners, announced that her team would be welcoming a CME Group executive director having experience in Крипто.
Bruce Fekrat will be holding the position of chief counsel at the CFTC from June 1, said Johnson in a Thursday announcement. Fekrat has served as an associate general counsel and executive director at the CME Group for over eight years. Fekrat held the responsibility of regulating counsel for issues, including digital assets.
He regulated Cryptocurrency reference rates and assisted in the development of financial products, which also included Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) derivatives, during his tenure at the derivatives marketplace.
Johnson, whom U.S. President Joe Biden nominated in September 2021, was appointed just a few days after Christy Goldsmith Romero and Summer Mersinger held the vacant spots of commissioners at the CFTC in March 2022.
Further, Fekrat announced that Lillian Cardona and Natasha Robinson Coates would be joining her team as interim senior counsels.
