The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is seeking nominations for its CEO Innovation Council. Applicants must be received by December 8th.
Acting Chairman Caroline D. Pham aims to support ongoing innovation and updated market structure rules.
The CFTC’s Crypto Sprint to implement the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets report recommendations is said to continue through August 2026. This includes listed spot crypto trading, tokenized collateral, and stablecoins, and rulemaking to enable the use of blockchain technology and market infrastructure.
Pham said:
“The CFTC stands ready to carry out our mission over expanded markets and products, including crypto and digital assets, and ensure our markets remain vibrant and resilient while protecting all participants. In order to hit the ground running, it is critical that the CFTC drives public engagement with the support of expert industry leaders and visionaries who are building the future. That is why today I am calling upon CEOs to join us in shaping responsible regulations that will lay the foundation for America’s Golden Age of Innovation.”
