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

That's why we've partnered with the sports leagues to make sure we have access to the right information.

And we

Communicate with them on a regular basis.

And then we're also making sure that the exchanges have those relationships and are excluding participants that are likely to be able to trade on inside information.

Right.

And on-chain certainly doesn't mean that regulations don't apply, but there's a range of things, right?

You're looking at whether there's an intermediary, whether there's really someone who's an actor, centralized, and kind of the person that would be regulated for the activity.

But some of our laws and regulations actually apply regardless of whether there's an intermediary.

So certain types of financial instruments like derivatives can't be offered, for example, to retail participants off of regulated exchange.

So just because something is on a blockchain doesn't mean it's, you know,

safe and not subject to our regulation.

That said, I think it's important to create a space for these technologies in our financial markets.

We are evaluating things like innovation exemptions to allow for on-chain markets to flourish here in the US, even though some of our statutes really are focused on pushing that onto centralized gatekeepers and exchanges.

But it's important to have the right investor protections, have customer protections there.

And so even if someone's able to take their assets in self custody, perhaps we're regulating certain points of the flow of the transaction.

Well, it's such groundbreaking technology that we really have to make sure we get it right.

I'm concerned that we over-regulate and strangle some of the technology here in the United States.

I'm taking a very much minimum effective dose of regulation approach where we're looking at what's happening in terms of the models and how they're being deployed and used.

and making sure that we're regulating the actors, the persons that are engaging in the regulated activity and not just software developers.

The software developers are the ones building the tools, but they're not actually engaging in the financial transactions or using it to engage in regulated activity.
