I commend today's action by @FDICgov, @federalreserve and @USOCC to lower the onerous Basel III endgame bank capital requirements. The prior proposal disincentivized bank-affiliated brokers from servicing smaller customers. American farmers, ranchers and energy producers paid the price for this regulatory failure.

Today, the federal banking agencies issued proposals to modernize the regulatory capital framework for banks of all sizes. The proposals would streamline capital requirements and better align regulatory capital with risk. fdic.gov/news/press-rel…

Today the @CFTC and @MLB made history by signing the first-ever MOU between a sports league and federal agency. We’ve committed to work together to protect the integrity and resilience of prediction markets relating to professional baseball. Through this partnership, the @CFTC is well-positioned to add additional tools to protect our markets from fraud, manipulation, and other abuses. Thanks to @MLB and Commissioner Manfred for working with us to protect the integrity of these growing markets. Read the full MOU⬇️ cftc.gov/PressRoom/Pres…

The @CFTC’s roots are in trading agricultural commodities, and we take pride in celebrating our hardworking farmers and ranchers during National Agriculture Week. Access to key risk management tools and sound markets remains a priority and is more important now than ever before.

The Arizona Attorney General today filed criminal charges against one of our registered exchanges related to prediction markets. This is a jurisdictional dispute and entirely inappropriate as a criminal prosecution. The @CFTC is watching this closely and evaluating its options.

For far too long, Americans have awaited clear guidance on the status of crypto assets under the federal securities and commodities laws. @SECPaulSAtkins and I are committed to fostering a regulatory environment that allows the crypto industry to flourish in the US with clear rules of the road. With today's interpretation, the wait is over. Read the @CFTC and @SECGov's joint agency action ⬇️

As America cements its position as the crypto capital of the world, clear rules of the road for software developers are critical. Today’s staff no-action letter delivers long overdue clarity for non-custodial digital wallet software providers.

This is an important step in the evolution of prediction markets. I commend @ChairmanSelig for acting quickly to reinforce regulatory requirements and provide clarity for these markets.

Prediction markets are one of the most exciting innovations in financial markets. Yet for too long, the @CFTC has failed to provide guidance for these markets being used by millions of Americans. This ends today. Read what steps the agency is taking here⬇️ cftc.gov/PressRoom/Pres…

On @Bankless, I told @TrustlessState and @RyanSAdams that we're in the midst of a global technological revolution. Blockchain, prediction markets, and artificial intelligence are transforming our financial markets. We must ensure that these innovations aren’t strangled with red tape and forced offshore.
