CFTC Chair Rostin Behnam, in his final address, has urged Congress to prioritize the regulation of the cryptocurrency market. He cautioned that the legislative and rulemaking process is expected to take between 6 to 10 months, with potential for further delays. This prolonged timeline could exacerbate existing market uncertainties and hinder the establishment of a stable regulatory framework. The absence of immediate regulatory clarity may contribute to increased volatility and skepticism among investors, further impacting the already fragile state of the crypto industry.
