Podcast Ep. 757 - Crypto Is Becoming the Architecture of Finance with Former CFTC Chairman Chris Giancarlo
With special guest Christopher (“Chris”) Giancarlo, former Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, former CFTC Chairman Chris Giancarlo returns to discuss why the Clarity Act failed, why he believes it is likely dead for now, and why the SEC and CFTC are moving quickly to write crypto rules anyway. He explains that both agencies had rule proposals ready before the vote failed, and that the next two years could create a full regulatory framework for digital assets even without Congress passing a comprehensive bill. Giancarlo also previews his new book, The New Adventures of Crypto Dad, and makes the case that the next major fight is financial freedom, privacy, and preventing the digital financial system from becoming a surveillance tool.
