CFTC Launches Future Proof Initiative |
America’s Financial Markets are ready for a Golden Age
“To future-proof the CFTC for tomorrow’s innovations, the agency’s regulations must adapt to meet our nation’s builders where they are. That is why I have launched the “Future-Proof” initiative. While decades-old rules designed for agricultural futures contracts may still suit those markets today, they do not contemplate nascent products or trading venues. Just as American businesses are modernizing legacy financial systems by harnessing new technologies, the CFTC must upgrade its approach to unleash innovation. As part of this initiative, the CFTC’s staff will undertake a comprehensive review of the agency’s existing rules and regulations and modernize these requirements to ensure a level playing field for new entrants and incumbents alike.” - CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig
