Pham stated that these roundtables are a great way to build a solid regulatory framework, based on expert analysis and input from the public.
The CFTC will develop a comprehensive record of these discussions, incorporating expert reports and recommendations, to create a “holistic approach to evolving market trends.”This approach is designed to encourage economic growth in the United States and promote competitiveness. It also maintains clear rules which safeguard market integrity.
The CFTC is planning to meet with a variety of stakeholder groups over the next few months. These include industry leaders, regulators, public interest organizations, and market participants.
