The new frontier of finance isn't on the horizon. It's here. As our markets evolve at warp speed, the @CFTC is upgrading its rules and regulations to prepare for the era of onchain systems, mass tokenization, 24/7 trading, and agentic finance.

We don’t permit contracts that are readily susceptible to manipulation to be listed on @CFTC registered exchanges. Just yesterday, CFTC staff clarified their views on the listing of mention markets, which raise unique manipulation risks. We’ll continue to hold offerings on our exchanges to the highest standard.

THE BLOCK: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is prepping "Regulation Crypto Asset Transactions and Regulation Crypto Asset Markets," and has filed it with the White House's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs for review. Federal agencies like the CFTC have said they would take their own action to write rules for crypto after the Clarity Act failed a vote in the Senate earlier this week.

This @CFTC seal, recovered from the ruins of the Twin Towers following the September 11th attacks, hangs with honor in our New York office as a solemn reminder of the lives lost 25 years ago. Today we remember their lives, the courage of our first responders, and the unity and resolve of our nation in the days that followed. Let us never forget.

American agriculture is the backbone of this country, and it has been at the heart of the CFTC’s mission from the very beginning. I look forward to the return of AgCon next month and the opportunity to hear from agricultural leaders about how the @CFTC can support the industry and the millions of Americans who depend on it.

Congress gave the @CFTC the exclusive authority to regulate prediction markets. The CFTC will not only defend its jurisdiction against states seeking to nullify federal law and apply state anti-gaming laws to DCMs, we’ll exercise it by establishing clear rules of the road for these markets. 📺👇
