CFTC Chairman Michael Selig emphasized the extensive experience brought by Amir Zaidi and noted that he played a crucial role in the launch of CFTC-regulated Bitcoin futures contracts during Trump's first term. Michael Selig stated that as Congress prepares to submit digital asset market structure legislation to the President, Amir Zaidi will provide experience and expertise as the CFTC formulates regulations applicable to the rapidly evolving commodity markets. He held multiple positions at the CFTC from 2010 to 2019, serving as the Director of the Division of Market Oversight in his final two years, where he was responsible for overseeing and facilitating the establishment of the regulated Bitcoin futures market in the United States.
