The CFTC has proposed an overhaul risk management rules, and Commissioner Christy Goldsmith Romero said changes should insist firms prepare themselves for crypto volatility and the risks from holding customers’ digital assets. jesseahamilton writes
that “technologies like digital assets, artificial intelligence, and cloud services, also have emerged as areas that can carry significant risk.”
“These technological advancements, with their accompanying risks, necessitate the commission revisiting our regulatory oversight, including our risk management requirements,” Goldsmith Romero said. “Integration of digital assets with banks and brokers, and the risks that could be posed, could continue to evolve.”
She also flagged the ongoing issues regarding the industry’s custody practices, saying “brokers may explore holding customer property in the form of stablecoins or other digital assets that could result in unknown and unique risks.” The CFTC will take public comments for 60 days on its “advance notice of proposed rulemaking” – the preliminary stage of a rule process that would have to be followed by a formal, proposed rule and then a vote on a final version.
