TechFlow news, January 7 — According to the Financial Times, Rostin Behnam, Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), will step down on January 20—the same day President-elect Trump's inauguration is set to take place.
Behnam expressed concerns over the still inadequate regulation of digital assets, including bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies: "Within the U.S. regulatory framework, a significant portion of the digital asset space remains unregulated. Given the growing adoption by traditional financial institutions and the substantial demand from both retail and institutional investors for these products, it is crucial to close this gap." He stated that the CFTC remains "well-positioned to become the regulator for spot digital commodity markets."
