Acting CFTC chair seeks CEOs for ‘innovation council,’ citing crypto policy
The US CFTC opened nominations for a CEO-led advisory group to help shape policy on crypto, prediction markets and other emerging products.
Caroline Pham, acting chair of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, called for nominations of CEOs to fill seats on a council to discuss policies, including those related to digital assets.
In a Tuesday notice, Pham said the CFTC would be accepting submissions until Dec. 8 for a “CEO Innovation Council,” referencing the regulator’s previous efforts to regulate digital assets, including its “Crypto Sprint” initiative, a crypto industry forum and progress by Congress on a market structure bill.
The acting chair said the council would focus on the CFTC’s “expanded mission over crypto and prediction markets.”
