According to ChainCatcher, Cointelegraph reported that CFTC Commissioner Summer Mersinger spoke at the North American Blockchain Summit, calling for the establishment of standard policies for cryptocurrency through formal notice and comment procedures. Mersinger noted that the current 'enforcement-style regulation' approach taken by regulators towards the cryptocurrency industry is problematic, specifically mentioning the case of Uniswap Labs. She emphasized that the CFTC is the 'ideal regulatory body for the cryptocurrency spot market' because it can implement significant legislative changes quickly without disrupting the market.
Mersinger pointed out that although cryptocurrency entities (including decentralized finance DeFi) are often classified into existing categories and required to comply with the same laws, there is currently no formal registration pathway. She suggested that the cryptocurrency industry should begin outreach immediately after the new government leadership is established to facilitate early dialogue. Notably, the settlement amount recently reached between the CFTC and Uniswap is relatively small, reflecting a subtle change in regulatory attitude.
