The <a href="https://coingape.com/us-cftc-releases-report-on-defi-citing-regulatory-concerns/">Commodity Futures Trading Commission</a> (CFTC) is to come up with new regulatory measures this summer. These controls seek to minimize risks and conflicts of interest in vertical, integrated models. The models of such systems, where firms control more than one level in their supply chain or operations, have raised criticisms, especially in the cryptocurrency sector. 
These intentions were disclosed by the CFTC Chair, <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-etf-approval-raises-regulatory-risks-says-cftc-chair-behnam/">Rostin Behnam</a>, during a Futures Industry Association conference in Florida. He highlighted the changes in markets because of electronification and decentralized finance (DeFi), which have changed the traditional geographic demarcations among market players. 
In a public comment period last year, the CFTC collected a lot of feedback from organizations like Coinbase and several consumer advocates. The feedback identified a lack of regulatory clarity, particularly with the new risks introduced with the consolidation of roles in crypto firms. 
Before, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/SpeechesTestimony/opabehnam43#_ftnref13">CFTC Commissioner</a> Christy Goldsmith Romero expressed concerns about the possible risks from such integrated operations. She pointed out the <a href="https://coingape.com/ftx-crash-embattled-crypto-exchange-offloads-crypto-assets-to-pay-customers/">collapse of FTX </a>as a case in point, stressing that regulatory actions are necessary to avoid such market disruptions.

The proposed CFTC rules will address improvements in event contract rules. This initiative aims to provide more defined rules to exchanges that would like to list such contracts and for the market participants. Markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket allow users to bet on all sorts of upcoming events, including weather patterns and economic forecasts. This announcement by Behnam reflects the CFTC’s determination to improve regulatory frameworks governing these new trading platforms. 
Also, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/SpeechesTestimony/opabehnam43">Behnam commented</a> on criticisms that have been directed at the CFTC concerning the regulatory approach to crypto. He challenged the notion that the agency is laxer in its methods compared with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). He contended that principle-based regulation, which forms the basis of the CFTC’s approach, does not sacrifice on regulatory rigor; rather, it facilitates suppleness and creativity within the goals of the law.

The CFTC’s move to bring in the new regulations is among the broader measures to protect the market integrity and the investors’ interests. Focusing on the treatment of event contracts and the intricate features of vertically integrated businesses, the <a href="https://coingape.com/ethereum-news-cftc-contradicts-sec-over-prometheum-custody-of-eth-as-security/">CFTC seeks to fill </a>the regulatory holes. Such a proactive approach is essential for risk management, as it is tied to fast-evolving technology and market role convergence, especially in the cryptocurrency sector.
