The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled 6–3 to expand presidential authority over the removal of heads of independent federal agencies, excluding the Federal Reserve. This decision strengthens presidential control over regulatory bodies such as the SEC and CFTC, which are currently advancing new crypto asset regulations. The ruling could impact the robustness of internal debates and the stability of rules within these agencies, as noted by former CFTC officials and industry insiders. Despite potential changes in leadership, existing rules remain legally binding as long as they comply with authorizing statutes and the Administrative Procedure Act.
