CoinDesk reports that the Blockchain Association will return to leadership by its original CEO, Kristin Smith, after Summer Mersinger leaves the organization at the end of a long congressional tussle.

The outlet says the leadership change follows the crypto Clarity Act not moving forward, prompting the trade group to resume running by Smith after Mersinger's departure.
