The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has appointed Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov to its Innovation Advisory Committee (IAC).
The IAC aims to bring together senior figures from traditional finance, infrastructure providers, and others throughout the digital asset industry, intended to advise the CFTC on FinTech innovation.
Nazarov will join executives from Nasdaq, CME Group, Intercontinental Exchange, Coinbase, and Robinhood, among other institutions.
Moreover, the committee is said to be providing recommendations on how technologies such as blockchain and AI are affecting the derivatives and commodity markets, and the potential subsequent impact on the pace of regulatory innovation.
The CFTC says launching the committee emphasises its commitment to future-proofing its regulatory framework, with the IAC supporting the Commission’s efforts to develop clear market structure regulations.
