On Thursday, a commissioner of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Kristin N. Johnson, stated that the regulator of the US derivatives markets had “boots on the ground” at LedgerX, a US-based division of the FTX, whose CEO had recently resigned due to uncertainty surrounding the functioning of the firm.

At a conference on cryptocurrency regulation in London, Johnson was expressing her views on the matter and stated that the financial regulator was “monitoring and overseeing on a daily, if not hourly basis, verifying what we believe to be the case, which is [that] every dollar of customer assets held at LedgerX continues to be available.”

Bemerkenswert ist, dass die CFTC und FTX US, der US-Arm der Konkurs-Kryptobörse, interagierten über LedgerX miteinander. Es reichte 2017 bei der CFTC einen Antrag ein, ein reguliertes Derivatezentrum zu werden, bevor es im Vorjahr von FTX übernommen wurde.

She repeated remarks made by CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam, who said earlier this week at a futures conference that his agency’s oversight was responsible for LedgerX’s ability to avoid bankruptcy. Johnson emphasized that LedgerX was one of the businesses left out of FTX’s bankruptcy filing on Friday.

CFTC’s Regulation Of LedgerX

Laut Kommissar Johnson hatte die CFTC angeordnet, dass LedgerX getrennte Gelder getrennt hält, vorbehaltlich monatlicher, vierteljährlicher und jährlicher Prüfungen, und Bilanzen und verifizierte Kontoauszüge vorlegt, um die Legitimität von Vermögenswerten nachzuweisen, die auf Konten im Namen von Verbrauchern gehalten werden.

Additionally, she claimed, it requires FTX’s subsidiary to have reserves, including a one-year liquidity reserve, and to refrain from touching, pledging, investing, or posing any other threats to functioning capital.

She asserted that the CFTC always has “a number of options” for providing oversight to maintain market integrity, even in the absence of regulation.

Und doch benötigt die CFTC laut Johnson eine direkte Autorität des Kongresses, um mit den Marktteilnehmern zu interagieren und sie zu zwingen, in den Regulierungsrahmen der US-Märkte einzutreten.

She compared the interaction between American regulators to “coming to Thanksgiving dinner” and added that “there are some folks you might not necessarily sit beside.”

CFTC vs. SEC

Es gab einen ständigen Kampf zwischen CFTC und SEK darüber, wer das grüne Signal zur Übernahme des Kryptoraums erhalten wird, und die Vorsitzenden beider Aufsichtsbehörden glauben, dass Bitcoin eine Ware ist, während beide unterschiedliche Versionen davon haben, welche Token als Wertpapiere und welche als Ware betrachtet werden können.

Recently, a polician criticized SEC Chai Gary Gensler and called his organization “power hungry.”

“Under Chair Gensler, the SEC has become a power-hungry regulator, politicizing enforcement, baiting companies to “come in and talk” to the Commission, then hitting them with enforcement actions, discouraging good-faith cooperation,” said Gensler.
