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

There was a great court case that dealt with actually Uniswap, the decentralized exchange protocol, talking about how you don't go after Tesla for the self-driving car that is used to rob a bank.

You're going after the bank robbers.

We're certainly looking to make sure we're regulating the traders, the persons that are using them.

For example, if you use a software tool to help you engage in trading activity, the trading activity is still regulated, but you're using a tool just like you're using your personal device or your computer.

So we're trying to get that regulation right.

And there are a lot of considerations as we're doing it.

But one area that I find fascinating is these kind of autonomous agents that are engaging in their own trading activity, potentially for their own kind of benefits.

So you could put a bunch of funds in a smart contract and let the smart contract kind of run on its own.

And that might actually be attached to a very sophisticated AI, and it's able to make better predictions on outcomes than anybody else.

And that's going to help us generate better data.

And so I think we're going to see a lot of competition between these different AI models on the financial scale in the prediction markets in other areas.

And that's where I think you see the marriage of blockchain, prediction markets, and AI.

And it's really a fascinating place to be for a regulator.

Yeah.

And if you think about it, for example, you know, you're an exchange that's regulated by us.

Do you allow some of these AIs to participate?

Right.

And who are we protecting regulating the software itself?

We regulate intermediaries in our markets and registrants.

So it's important to make sure we stick to our mandate as a regulator and not creep into software or into other asset classes that are beyond our scope.
