US CFTC to Intensify Crypto Work With New Tech Innovation Office

The agency’s LabCFTC, a long-running fintech team, will be transformed into the new office, which will be led by a director that reports to Behnam, he said in remarks prepared for a Brookings Institution event on Monday. The office will also be staffed by specialists, and existing CFTC employees will have a chance to rotate through to get crypto experience.
