According to the announcement on the CFTC official website, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on July 30 to solicit public comments on amendments to Parts 37, 38, and 39 of the regulations and sections 1.52 and 1.55, with a comment period of 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. This revision targets the increasingly common affiliations among CFTC-regulated entities, covering market participants including Derivative Clearing Organizations, Designated Contract Markets, Swap Execution Facilities, Futures Commission Merchants, and market makers, with a focus on resolving potential conflicts of interest within vertically integrated market structures. CFTC Chairman Michael S. Selig stated that the proposed rule will establish a principles-based regulatory framework for vertically integrated market structures, maintaining market integrity while avoiding stifling innovative market structures or imposing excessive compliance burdens on registered entities.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent posted on the X platform, expressing support for open-source AI and the innovation it brings, but emphasized that open-source is not an excuse for arbitrarily infringing upon U.S. intellectual property rights. If Chinese companies conduct covert, industrial-scale refinement attacks that cross the line into intellectual property theft, consideration will be given to imposing sanctions and placing them on the entity list.
Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted that he is deeply grateful for the long-standing funding and multifaceted support provided by the Ethereum Foundation (EF), but he specifically clarified that Uniswap was not incubated by the EF; rather, he participated as an external grant recipient with close personal ties to the EF. Previously, EF Chair Aya Miyaguchi and co-founder Vitalik Buterin publicly shared their views on the EF’s future direction. Miyaguchi noted that one reason for proposing the EF’s mission framework at the end of last year was the growing deviation in technical discussions.
