Clayton was the opening speaker at the Delivering Alpha conference, presented by CNBC and Institutional Investor.

Bitcoin will need stronger regulation before it's traded on a major exchange and investors should be wary until that happens, Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton said Thursday.

The cryptocurrency, with a market cap of $177 billion, has seen a number of attempt to go mainstream, including efforts to launch exchange-traded funds that would give retail investors an easier path into the space. However, regulators have been reluctant amid violent price swings, a string of negative headlines involving fraud and a general level of skepticism about the stability of the crypto industry.

"If [investors] think there's the same rigor around that price discovery as there is on the Nasdaq or New York Stock Exchange ... they are sorely mistaken," said Clayton, the opening speaker at the Delivering Alpha conference, presented by CNBC and Institutional Investor. "We have to get to a place where we can be confident that trading is better regulated."

Trump is better off never cutting a trade deal with China, CME Group chief economist saysPresident Donald Trump would be better off not cutting a trade deal with China as it could backfire on him ahead of the 2020 U.S. election, according to the managing director and chief economist at the CME Group. But is the trump 'the deal maker' going to listen....NOOOOOO! There won’t be a deal. China won’t mess with a country that supports hk riots, labels it a currency manipulator, shames it on the global arena, sells weapons to Taiwan, instigated trade wars and currency wars, and many other things.
