As an analyst with a background in financial regulation and experience following the crypto market closely, I believe that Chairman Behnam’s perspective is both insightful and concerning. The potential for increased regulatory actions against crypto companies in the coming months is a significant development, given the current lack of clear regulatory frameworks in this space.
The Chair of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Rostin Behnam, has identified regulatory actions as a pressing concern. He made these remarks during his appearance at the Milken Institute’s Global Conference in Los Angeles. According to Behnam, crypto companies are likely to face enforcement actions within the next 1.5 to 2 years.
In the coming 6 to 24 months, CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam anticipates a new round of regulatory enforcement actions in the crypto sector due to the absence of a clear framework and surging asset values, attracting renewed attention from retail investors and entrepreneurs.

Behnam highlights that the adaptability of the cryptocurrency sector, finance, and substantial market value attract investors and encourage innovators. He stresses the importance of clear regulatory frameworks and legislation as effective safeguards instead of relying on litigation from regulatory bodies.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, has issued a warning to American retail trading platform Robinhood that it may face regulatory action regarding its cryptocurrency trading. Similarly, blockchain company Consensys received a Wells Notice from the SEC and was summoned over certain Ethereum transactions.
Lawmakers are working hard to address the regulatory gaps in the realm of cryptocurrencies, but they face several challenges that make it complicated to pass relevant bills. Over the past year, there has been ongoing debate among federal authorities regarding which body should oversee cryptocurrency regulation – the CFTC or the SEC.
