According to CoinMeta, the CEO of the Blockchain Association, Meisinger, will resign on October 16, 2026, following the setback of the CLARITY legislation. She will continue to serve as an advisor until the end of the year, and Kristen Smith will return on October 17 to assume the role of interim CEO. This leadership change occurs ten days after the Senate refused to vote on H.R.3633. The Blockchain Association had urged legislators to advance federal digital asset market structure rules, but the delay in voting has postponed the establishment of a regulatory framework. Meisinger stated that the organization will continue to engage with bipartisan legislators and cooperate with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
