Crypto CEOs Join CFTC Innovation Council to Help Shape U.S. Market Rules

Published at 2025-12-10 22:30:11

Chief executives from crypto firms such as Gemini and Kraken are set to participate in public discussions hosted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Innovation Council. The move brings senior industry voices directly into a forum designed to surface practical issues and help inform the agency’s approach to market rules and oversight.

Their participation matters because it can steer regulatory priorities toward areas where market participants see operational friction or risk, such as market integrity, custody practices, and product oversight. While the council does not make rules, these public sessions create a channel for constructive dialogue that could lead to clearer guidance and more workable policy outcomes — a development markets and institutional participants will watch closely.
