Commodity derivatives regulation: Where do we go from here?

On January 8, Chairman Rostin Behnam reflected in prepared remarks on actions the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has taken during his tenure, including four years as chairman and over seven as a member of the CFTC. Chairman Behnam also discussed his thoughts on the future of commodity derivatives regulation, and the regulatory future for emerging assets like cryptocurrencies. Following his prepared remarks, Behnam joined a fireside chat with Brookings Senior Fellow Aaron Klein.

This event was a part of the Center on Regulation and Markets Series on Financial Markets and Regulation and was the first in an ongoing series on the Future of Financial Regulation. Viewers joined the conversation and asked questions in advance by emailing [email protected] and on X @BrookingsEcon using the hashtag #FutureofReg.
