Trump is also reportedly considering another member of The Digital Chamber for CFTC chair: founder and CEO Perianne Boring.27 In my recent video on the crypto industry’s election spending, I quoted her statement that “The Crypto Voter Bloc has made its voice heard, and we now have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world.”28 I didn’t realize at the time that she might have meant she would do so by taking over the agency that the industry hopes will be made its primary regulator, and then ensuring its already limited resources to go after crypto malfeasance are spent on nothing of the sort. Her other credentials include executive producer on a movie called God Bless Bitcoin, which “interviewed bitcoin experts and religious leaders to explain how bitcoin is a new money that would allow everyone to use the gifts God gave them”, and as a television anchor on the American branch of the Russian state-controlled RT news network. In other words, she is highly qualified for the role. Other rumored candidates in the running for the position are one of two current CFTC Commissioners, Caroline Pham and Summer Mersinger. Both have been friendly to the cryptocurrency industry, but have more traditional backgrounds in law compared to Boring.
