“US House Hearing Explores Exciting Plan for Crypto Self-Regulation: Innovation Unleashed?”

US regulators have explored the idea of a cryptocurrency self-regulatory organization (SRO) that would be overseen by both the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Former CFTC Chair Timothy Massad discussed the viability of such a system with members of Congress at a digital assets hearing. Massad claimed in his opening testimony that Congress could instruct the SEC and CFTC to devise rules concerning investor protection, fraud prevention and other principles while overseeing existing SROs and imposing the costs on the industry through membership fees.
