According to Foresight News, US Senator Sherrod Brown has questioned Rostin Behnam, the Chairman of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), about what the CFTC has learned from previous instances of cryptocurrency fraud. The query was reported by Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett.
In response, Behnam stated that the technology behind digital assets is 'very unique and different' from traditional asset classes. This uniqueness, he said, 'forces our institution to ask different questions around cybersecurity and operational resilience'. The CFTC Chairman's comments highlight the distinct challenges that digital assets present to regulatory bodies, particularly in terms of security and operational stability.
