The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission has canceled its planned move to a new headquarters and extended its current lease by five years to ensure enough space to add 100 new employees. According to Odaily, the agency recently offered about 50 employees a deferred resignation program, and its total workforce has fallen by nearly 25% compared with 2024.
Under a recent White House executive order, the CFTC reclassified 25 positions that previously had civil service protections, including policy advisers and senior advisers.
The report said the CFTC expects its workload to increase significantly due to growth in prediction markets and the possibility that Congress may pass digital asset market structure legislation that would establish the CFTC as the primary regulator for the crypto industry.
