Michael Selig

Role: CFTC Chair
Status: Active
Appointed: 2025 (approximate)

Overview

Michael Selig serves as Chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission under the Trump administration. His tenure has been marked by aggressive assertion of federal jurisdiction over prediction markets.

Timeline

  • 2025 — At confirmation hearing, stated CFTC should defer to courts on core legal question of prediction market jurisdiction
  • 2026-04-02 — Shifted position to actively sue Arizona, Connecticut, and Illinois, asserting exclusive federal jurisdiction over prediction markets

Significance

Selig's shift from judicial deference to offensive litigation represents executive branch willingness to create favorable precedent through coordinated multi-state lawsuits rather than wait for case-law to develop organically.
