The US SEC and CFTC will operate with only three commissioners after the resignation of SEC commissioner Hester Peirce. This reduced leadership impacts crypto regulation as nominations for replacements have not yet been announced, and the agencies continue rulemaking in the absence of new legislation like the failed CLARITY Act.
