Perpetual futures’ unique funding mechanism and lack of expiry have made the product popular offshore, where limited regulations apply. Under my chairmanship, the CFTC is bringing perpetuals onshore under a robust regulatory framework. More form my conversation on CNBC's Fast Money 👇

It’s my hope that, by marrying prediction markets with blockchains, we can see how decentralized trust and truth can act as a check on disinformation, outright falsity, and the threat of debanking.

For too long, American regulators have strangled innovation with ill fit rules. In this new era at the CFTC, we are ending regulation by enforcement and ensuring the new frontier of finance is built on US soil. This is just the beginning. Bankless

Gary Gensler said the law was clear–“virtually every crypto asset is a security”–and drove the crypto industry offshore. Now, he says the law is clear–“event contracts are not derivatives”–and seeks to push the prediction markets offshore. He has a poor track record reading the law. Event contracts, whether on sports, politics, or any commodity, are within the CFTC’s remit. We’ll regulate these markets accordingly. 📺 More this morning on Squawk Box 👇

For far too long, the Biden administration left crypto in limbo by driving many crypto firms offshore and creating confusion as to what’s a security and what’s not. Paul Atkins and I have developed a new interpretation that provides regulatory clarity for the crypto markets. Watch more on Mornings with Maria⬇️

The CFTC’s approval of perpetual contracts marked the first new category of derivative products approved by the agency in over a decade. A milestone for American markets, and a signal that innovation is back onshore. Bankless

Self-custody must be protected. The United States was founded on the principle of private property, and the seizure of assets is something we must guard against. At the CFTC, that means protecting Americans’ ability to hold and control their own digital assets.

Prediction markets are not new; we’ve regulated prediction markets since 1992. These markets allowed for political predictions, predictions on corporate earnings, and now sports. What we’re seeing now is huge uptick in demand by Americans to predict the future.

I've said since day one that the CFTC will be looking at perpetuals on an asset-by-asset basis. The CFTC staff’s advisory on 24/7 trading made this point abundantly clear, and we will continue to work to ensure responsible innovation is allowed to flourish in American markets. 📺👇

The CFTC and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s framework lays out a clear and simple road map for any company that wants to sell a crypto asset to raise capital, what their securities law obligations are, and the status of the crypto asset. As we work to create future-proof legislation, our interpretation is intended to help in the interim.

Under my leadership, the CFTC is onshoring crypto perpetual contracts under gold standard regulations. The Biden administration drove perps offshore to jurisdictions that had ZERO investor protections, leading to disasters like the FTX implosion. Instead, we believe that popular financial instruments like perps should be available to Americans under American laws and regulations. Watch more on Mornings with Maria:
