The Pomp Podcast · CFTC Chair Reveals The Government’s New Plan For Crypto & AI | Mike Selig · 25 Mar 2026 podcast

I think these are some of the most transformative technologies that we've seen.

They're really generational technologies.

I'm excited to be at the forefront leading the CFTC to help develop rules for them.

And I don't think those rules should be uniform across all these technologies.

It's not one size fits all.

We need purpose fit rules that make sense, but they also need to be merit neutral.

We can't be saying, you know, AI is fine, but crypto is not.

Our prediction markets don't make sense, but we like crypto.

So we're trying to take an approach of making sure that our rules are

consistent, coherent, rational, but tailored to the technology.

And I do think that these technologies really are synergistic.

So we've got blockchain rails that are a response to some of the debanking, the Operation Chokepoint 2.0, the tendency of government to take our assets.

We saw it with

know that gold in the early days right the government was able to confiscate that and so having the ability to self-custody your assets engage on chain freely censorship resistant blockchain rails are terrific prediction markets are a response to a lot of the gatekeepers in the media where they were putting out fake polls fake news reports you can check that with the ability to put assets at stake skin in the game

and really take a position on a future outcome.

And then AI and automation in our markets are really critical.

I think agents are going to be some of the most effective traders in our markets, but also helping us be more productive as everyday individuals.

And compute is a real new commodity that's really exciting to us at the CFTC as well.

from a regulation standpoint derivatives are some of the most creative and interesting financial instruments that we have they can be offered on virtually any type of underlying asset really what you're doing is taking a position on a future outcome in an event or the price of an asset that can be traditional assets like agricultural products metals all of that

Crypto now is a new asset class, but also events like sports and politics and geopolitics.
