According to a report by Bitcoinist on Monday, U.S. President-elect Trump plans to hold a private meeting with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, which is expected to influence the regulatory landscape for Crypto assets in the U.S.
Fortune magazine confirmed on Tuesday that the discussion was conducted over the phone, rather than the initially reported private meeting.
During the call, Armstrong discussed broader issues regarding Crypto assets, rather than specific appointment topics.
Unverified reports have also circulated on social media claiming that another prominent figure in the field, Ripple Labs CEO Brad Garlinghouse, had direct contact with Trump.
However, a spokesperson for Ripple stated that the company does not discuss private conversations.
According to sources familiar with the call between Trump and Armstrong, the Crypto asset industry is primarily focused on the appointments of the leadership of two financial regulatory agencies: the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
The source stated, "The SEC is where all the bad outcomes come from, Chairman Gary Gensler has initiated a large number of lawsuits."
With Gensler expected to leave by the end of this year, there is uncertainty about whether the agency will immediately dismiss many cases that are not directly related to fraud.
The source pointed out that the acting chair may be less willing to take such action.
If legislation changes, some regulatory powers of the SEC will be transferred to the commodities regulatory agency, and the CFTC's role in regulating digital assets may expand.
According to Fortune magazine, potential candidates to lead the CFTC include current commissioner Summer Mersinger and Milbank attorney Josh Sterling, who frequently represents cases in the industry.
