President Trump has dismissed FTC Chair Lina Khan and other key leaders, appointing Andrew Ferguson, known for his pro-deregulation stance, as a replacement. This leadership overhaul could significantly impact antitrust strategies and regulatory approaches, with potential implications for cryptocurrency legislation. Former FTC commissioners have criticized the dismissals as illegal, with legal challenges anticipated from Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Slaughter. While analysts report no immediate effects on major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, the legal uncertainties introduced by these changes pose concerns for industry stakeholders.
