The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has initiated a nomination process for a new advisory committee composed of chief executives to provide strategic input on regulatory frameworks for digital assets, prediction markets, and other innovative financial technologies. Acting Chairman Rostin Behnam emphasized the need for direct industry leadership engagement to help shape balanced policies that foster innovation while maintaining market integrity.
The newly proposed Technology and Innovation Advisory Council will serve as a formal channel for collaboration between regulators and private sector pioneers. This initiative reflects the CFTC’s commitment to staying abreast of rapid technological developments transforming global financial markets. The council’s recommendations are expected to influence rulemaking processes and regulatory approaches to emerging products and trading mechanisms.
Industry participants and subject matter experts are encouraged to submit nominations for council membership through the CFTC’s official channels. The selection process will prioritize candidates with demonstrated expertise in blockchain technology, digital asset markets, and financial innovation. This move represents a significant step in establishing structured dialogue between federal regulators and technology leaders driving market evolution.
