He outlined how his agency is working with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to regulate the crypto sector, noting that “there are no customer protections right now in the crypto market.”CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam discussed the regulation of cryptocurrencies by the CFTC and the SEC in an interview with CNBC last week.
“This is a little bit of an age-old issue between the CFTC and the SEC.
