Honored to speak before
@ChairmanSelig at today’s inaugural
@CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee meeting. I made three asks:
• A Safe harbor / innovation exemption for new markets like compute derivatives so builders can test ideas compliantly
• Support for compliant confidentiality tools in DeFi — unlocking greater transparency for regulators to manage systemic risk, privacy for institutional traders
• Support for Pre-IPO perpetual futures so that everyday Americans can share in AI wealth creation instead of being boxxed out by private markets or forced into opaque SPVs
I also had the chance to spend time with
@SECPaulSAtkins today. Grateful for forward-thinking regulators focused on America’s future.
