The cryptocurrency market is getting shaped by global geopolitics. In the United States, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), under Chair Rostin Behnam, has been at the forefront of cryptocurrency industry regulations. However, it has been regarded as a friendlier regulator than the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
During a panel discussion hosted by law firm Lowenstein Sandler in New York on Monday, Behnam said he gets “very irritated when folks start to talk about the CFTC as a more favorable regulator,”
In his opinion, Behnam noted that the CFTC could do much more if it were motivated by funds and working persons.
“If we had more funds, if we had more personnel, we could bring more of this fraud and manipulation to light,” Behnam said.
The CFTC has been working closely with the SEC to help provide crystal clear cryptocurrency regulations. The global cryptocurrency community has welcomed rules as a means to further adoption.
