SEC Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw Officially Departs, Known for Opposition to Spot Bitcoin ETFs
News Brief
SEC Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw, widely regarded as one of the Commission’s more skeptical voices on Bitcoin, has officially left the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, marking the end of her term.
SEC Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw, widely regarded as one of the Commission’s more skeptical voices on Bitcoin, has officially left the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, marking the end of her term.
Crenshaw was notably one of the votes against approving U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, consistently raising concerns around:
- Market manipulation risks
- Investor protection
- Surveillance and custody safeguards in crypto markets
Why Her Departure Matters
Crenshaw’s exit could subtly shift the SEC’s internal dynamics on digital asset policy:
- Removes a reliable dissenting vote on crypto‑related approvals
- Potentially lowers resistance to crypto‑friendly interpretations within the Commission
- Adds uncertainty around the future regulatory tone toward digital assets
While spot Bitcoin ETFs are already approved, future decisions—such as ETH ETFs, staking features, crypto ETP expansions, and enforcement priorities—may be influenced by changes in commissioner composition.
Market Context
Crenshaw consistently argued that the SEC should not approve spot Bitcoin ETFs until the underlying market met stricter standards. Her position stood in contrast to the majority that ultimately approved the products following court pressure and evolving market infrastructure.
What to Watch Next
- Who will be nominated to fill the vacant seat
- Whether the replacement adopts a more innovation‑friendly or enforcement‑first stance
- How this impacts upcoming decisions on crypto market structure and products
For crypto markets, Crenshaw’s departure is seen as a symbolic turning point, potentially easing one of the SEC’s most persistent sources of resistance to broader crypto adoption.

Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected
The post Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell talks to reporters following the regular Federal Open Market Committee meetings at the Fed on July 30, 2025 in Washington, DC. Chip Somodevilla | Getty Images The Federal Reserve is projecting only one rate cut in 2026, fewer than expected, according to its median projection. The central bank’s so-called dot plot, which shows 19 individual members’ expectations anonymously, indicated a median estimate of 3.4% for the federal funds rate at the end of 2026. That compares to a median estimate of 3.6% for the end of this year following two expected cuts on top of Wednesday’s reduction. A single quarter-point reduction next year is significantly more conservative than current market pricing. Traders are currently pricing in at two to three more rate cuts next year, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch tool, updated shortly after the decision. The gauge uses prices on 30-day fed funds futures contracts to determine market-implied odds for rate moves. Here are the Fed’s latest targets from 19 FOMC members, both voters and nonvoters: Zoom In IconArrows pointing outwards The forecasts, however, showed a large difference of opinion with two voting members seeing as many as four cuts. Three officials penciled in three rate reductions next year. “Next year’s dot plot is a mosaic of different perspectives and is an accurate reflection of a confusing economic outlook, muddied by labor supply shifts, data measurement concerns, and government policy upheaval and uncertainty,” said Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management. The central bank has two policy meetings left for the year, one in October and one in December. Economic projections from the Fed saw slightly faster economic growth in 2026 than was projected in June, while the outlook for inflation was updated modestly higher for next year. There’s a lot of uncertainty…
