On Tuesday, the US Senate Banking Committee’s Digital Assets subcommittee is scheduled to hear testimony from former regulators and industry leaders in considering the law to establish Digital Asset Market Structure Framework.

In testimony prepared for Tuesday, former Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) President Rostin Behnam Said The regulator’s “current trajectory (was) was not durable” without addressing the gap for cryptocurrency. He suggested that the MPs considered the requirements of market structure, focusing on the requirements of market structure “customer safety, avoiding conflict of interest and rethinking market”.

“(…) I am not confident that public interests for digital assets will be reduced; Inactivity will result in more risk for our financial markets and investors, through the lack of market transparency, fraud, market manipulation, corruption, and lack of conflict of interest,” is written in testimony.

“As the digital asset market continues to weave itself in traditional financial institutions, concerns about the broad market and perhaps financial stability will also increase.”
