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

So there are some exceptions for certain people, but we're bound by very strict ethics requirements.

So I don't own any of the assets today.

But of course, our staff, unfortunately, have similarly not been able to participate in these markets.

But we've been working to get demos in place and make sure they understand it.

But I do think that that has been a big disservice to the American people that the regulators, especially in the last administration, who never got to use this stuff, were trying to kill it here in the United States.

So.

Creating a framework where at least regulars can experiment with it, maybe use stable coins, things like that is very important.

It's silly you can't hold a Crypto Kitty or a Chromie Squiggle or an NFT or that sort of thing because they view them as financial assets.

I think that's something that we should change in the country.

Well, I was lucky to get to serve at the SEC on the SEC's crypto task force together with Commissioner Peirce who led up the task force.

And I found it to be just an incredible experience and a great initiative within the SEC because you had so many of these technologists,

builders, creators, as well as the larger financial institutions, who for so many years had no place to go.

They'd come in and try to get a meeting with Mr. Gensler and walk out with a subpoena.

And that's no longer the case at the SEC, thanks to Commissioner Peirce's vision.

And I wanted to do something similar at the CFTC.

So we have a little bit of a different take on it.

We're going to be focused on crypto, but also prediction markets and AI.

Because

As I mentioned, I think these all really go hand in hand, and they're critical technologies that we have to get the right policy here in the United States for.

So we're announcing that recently here in the United States and looking to get the builders and innovators and financial firms coming into the office to meet with us.
