According to Eleanor Terrett, former CFTC Commissioner Brian Quintenz stated that if Congress grants the CFTC oversight of cryptocurrencies, the agency would implement a 'tech-first approach.' Quintenz emphasized that the CFTC is already recognized as a technology leader in traditional derivatives markets and could apply the same expertise to crypto regulation. For traders, this signals the potential for more sophisticated, adaptive regulatory frameworks, which could lead to increased institutional participation and greater market stability in the crypto sector.
