CFTC acting chair Caroline Pham says the agency won’t ease up on crypto just because the Trump administration has pledged to support the industry.
The Trump administration’s more relaxed attitude to crypto doesn’t mean the Commodity Futures Trading Commission will give the industry an easy ride, says the agency’s acting chair, Caroline Pham.
“There is no easy street for anybody, and regulators aren’t easy,” Pham told Yahoo Finance at the Coinbase Annual Summit on Thursday.
“And this is where I’m talking about not twisting the law to criminalize an asset class or a technology, but I’m talking about lying, cheating, and stealing,” she added.
