The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is slated to shrink to a single commissioner following an imminent departure, leaving the agency critically short-staffed. The change reduces the number of sitting commissioners to only one, a configuration that can constrain the commission's ability to vote on rulemakings and oversee markets. The situation raises questions about regulatory capacity and timing for policy decisions affecting derivatives, digital-asset oversight and enforcement during the interim period with a diminished commission.
