Blockchain Association CEO Steps Down Amid Crypto Policy Setback
Summer Mersinger, a former U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) commissioner, is stepping down as CEO of the Blockchain Association and will leave the advocacy group at the end of the year.
The change comes after one of the organization's top legislative priorities stalled in Congress, underscoring how quickly momentum in Washington can shift for crypto policy groups.
Mersinger joined the Blockchain Association in June 2025 after departing the CFTC three years ahead of the scheduled end of her second term as a commissioner.
