New Mexico is the latest state seeking to nullify black letter law and decades of precedent by imposing state gaming laws on federally regulated derivatives exchanges subject to the @CFTC’s exclusive jurisdiction. We’ll continue to defend our jurisdiction over commodity derivatives. Read more:

Incumbents are always going to fear the future. The @CFTC stands ready to address changing landscapes and ensure America remains the crypto capital of the world. We will continue to work diligently to onshore innovation and bring novel derivatives under the CFTC’s gold standard regulatory framework so that these markets can thrive here at home.

America is the global leader in financial markets because we embrace innovation and enforce robust regulatory requirements that provide confidence to market participants.

The name CLARITY says it all. For too long, crypto markets have operated under uncertainty and opaque rules. As @CFTC Chairman, I am committed to bringing clarity where it is needed most and building a future-proof regulatory framework that can stand the test of time. @MorningsMaria

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 @MorningsMaria:

.@SenTedCruz and I agree: America must lead in financial innovation. It’s not a question of WHETHER innovations like AI, crypto, or prediction markets transform financial markets, but a question of WHERE these innovations will take root. I’m committed to ensuring that these innovations are available on American soil and subject to American laws and regulations.

I'm pleased to announce that today, the @CFTC is officially seeking public comment on a structured framework for evaluating the types of events that may underpin contracts traded on prediction markets. This proposal would give the CFTC durable, transparent rules of the road to identify the contracts Congress directed it to scrutinize while letting legitimate markets move forward pursuant to the public interest.

Good rulemaking starts with listening. The @CFTC is engaging with investors, exchanges, brokers, and market participants to build rules that reflect the realities of modern markets, protect the American people, and support the innovations shaping our markets. @theempirepod

It is no coincidence that major media outlets, exchanges, and financial institutions are increasingly turning to prediction markets. When people have real skin in the game, the data follows, and that is the wisdom of the crowds at work. Watch now⬇️

As a former attorney who spent years defending crypto clients against government overreach, I can say this: innovators should not need a defense attorney. Under my leadership at the @CFTC, the days of arbitrary enforcement and regulatory uncertainty are over. We are building clear rules that allow innovators to thrive and markets to grow. Watch:

I’m proud to lead the @CFTC in supporting our nation’s farmers and ranchers who use derivatives markets every day to hedge their risks.
