The bright spot in the crypto blizzard? LedgerX, according to the CFTC.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Rostin Behnam has cited FTX Group’s LedgerX as an example of how regulating crypto firms could benefit United States consumers. The U.S.-based crypto derivatives and clearing platform was not part of its parent company’s recent bankruptcy filing.LedgerX had essentially been “walled off” from the other companies within FTX Group, including those that filed for bankruptcy.
“The limitations of our authority stopped at [LedgerX],” said Behnam. “For those same reasons that we were walled off from going past the regulated entity, the other FTX entities were not able to pierce through LedgerX and potentially take customer money, which obviously, as a regulator, is the priority.
“The crypto industry lacks the customer protections that Americans expect and deserve,” said Stabenow. “When trading in U.S. markets, when exchanges accept customer funds for trading they must not be allowed to gamble with those funds. [...] FTX did all of those things, emboldened by a lack of federal oversight.
