Crypto’s growing influence in U.S. market-structure policy advanced as the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced on Dec. 10 the first round of CEO Innovation Council participants from exchanges, emphasizing the significant presence of leaders from major digital-asset platforms.

Acting Chairman Caroline D. Pham states: “The CFTC continues to lead on groundbreaking initiatives that exemplify responsible innovation with public engagement and expert input.” She also said:

We are building on the success of the CFTC Crypto CEO Forum and the SEC-CFTC Joint Roundtable with our CFTC CEO Innovation Council, specifically focused on market structure developments in derivatives markets such as tokenization, crypto assets, 24/7 trading, perpetual contracts, prediction markets and blockchain market infrastructure.

Crypto sector representation includes Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan, Bullish CEO Tom Farley, Bitnomial CEO Luke Hoersten, Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour, Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek, Kraken co-CEO Arjun Sethi, and Gemini CEO Tyler Winklevoss, each contributing perspectives rooted in digital-asset innovation.

Further expansion of the CFTC’s work under Pham aligns with its focus on prediction markets, perpetual contracts and 24/7 trading—areas where crypto-native firms hold substantial operational experience.

The CEO Innovation Council will support deliberations on tokenized collateral, stablecoins and listed spot crypto trading as the agency continues its Crypto Sprint through August 2026. Pham added that she is grateful to the executives “who have agreed to share their vision and experience with the Commission as we hit the ground running to prepare for the future and beyond.” Their participation demonstrates strengthening regulatory engagement with blockchain-driven market infrastructure and highlights how crypto executives are increasingly shaping U.S. derivatives-market modernization.
