“CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam said Wednesday that CFTC-led regulation could have significant benefits for the crypto industry, including a potential boost to the price. A clear regulatory framework, Behnam argued, could pave the way for institutional investors to enter the market.
Growth might occur if we have a well-regulated space. Bitcoin might double in price if there’s a CFTC-regulated market.
A bipartisan bill introduced by the leaders of the Senate Agriculture Committee, which oversees the CFTC, would crown the CFTC the primary regulator for the crypto industry, expanding the agency’s authority to oversee crypto spot markets and requiring crypto trading firms to register with the CFTC. Behnam said on Thursday that he supports the bill.”
