U.S. CFTC’s acting chair says pro-crypto stance doesn’t mean lax enforcement

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) acting chair, Caroline Pham, said in a Yahoo Finance interview that a pro-crypto stance from the Trump administration does not imply relaxed enforcement, according to Cointelegraph. She noted that supporting innovation and growth does not permit breaking the law. Pham expressed approval of the CFTC’s shift away from “regulation by enforcement,” saying the agency is now focused on addressing fraud and scams in the crypto market. She also clarified her earlier remark about “uberizing crypto,” describing it as a vision where digital assets become so integrated into daily life that banning them is no longer practical—much like the ride-sharing app's widespread adoption.
