CFTC named a 35-member Innovation Advisory Committee, including CEOs from Ripple, Coinbase, Uniswap, Solana Labs, and Chainlink Labs.
The committee also includes leaders from CME, Nasdaq, ICE, DTCC, DraftKings, FanDuel, and Polymarket, per the CFTC roster.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has praised the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s newly announced Innovation Advisory Committee, calling it an “Olympics crypto roster.” The comment followed the CFTC’s release of a 35-member lineup that brings together senior leaders from crypto markets, traditional exchanges, market infrastructure firms, venture capital, academia, and prediction and sports-betting platforms.
The Innovation Advisory Committee is intended to advise the agency as it works to keep pace with technological change in financial markets, with attention on areas such as artificial intelligence and blockchain. The Commission also named Michael Passalacqua as the committee’s designated federal officer.
