美國商品期貨交易委員會主席 Rostin Behnam 計劃於 1 月 20 日辭職

根據衍生性商品市場監管機構週二的聲明，貝納姆將於 2 月 7 日離開該委員會。

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Rostin Behnam will resign from his post on Jan. 20, officially leaving the agency on Feb. 7, according to a statement Tuesday from the derivative-market regulator.

根據衍生性商品市場監管機構週二的聲明，商品期貨交易委員會主席 Rostin Behnam 將於 1 月 20 日辭職，並於 2 月 7 日正式離開該機構。

Behnam, who has led the CFTC since early 2022, will step down from his role at the agency as it faces increasing pressure to regulate new markets and asset classes.

自 2022 年初以來一直領導 CFTC 的貝納姆將辭去在該機構的職務，因為該機構面臨著監管新市場和資產類別的越來越大的壓力。

"Over the past several years, a multitude of domestic and global events tested the resilience of all financial markets,” Behnam said in the statement. “I am proud that the Commission consistently made deliberate and intentional decisions to ensure continued strength.”

貝納姆在聲明中表示：“過去幾年，眾多國內和全球事件考驗了所有金融市場的彈性。我感到自豪的是，委員會始終做出深思熟慮和有意的決定，以確保持續的實力。”

As chairman of the CFTC, Behnam advocated for legislation to make the agency the main Bitcoin regulator and give it oversight of cryptocurrency exchanges. The agency also scrutinized and sometimes tried to block companies that let Americans bet on US election outcomes.

身為 CFTC 主席，貝納姆主張立法讓該機構成為主要的比特幣監管機構，並監督加密貨幣交易。該機構還審查並有時試圖阻止那些讓美國人押注美國大選結果的公司。

A former aide to Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Debbie Stabenow, Behnam joined the CFTC as a commissioner in 2017. He became acting chairman in 2021 and was sworn in a year later.

貝納姆曾是參議院農業委員會主席黛比·斯塔貝諾 (Debbie Stabenow) 的助手，於 2017 年以專員身份加入 CFTC。

The CFTC has been “stretched thin” as it deals with new markets, asset classes and participants, Behnam said in an Oct. 22 interview with Bloomberg Television.

貝納姆在 10 月 22 日接受彭博電視台採訪時表示，CFTC 在處理新市場、資產類別和參與者方面一直「捉襟見肘」。

The next CFTC chair will have to tackle regulating digital assets and so-called event contracts. The latter allows traders to stake money on topics ranging from momentous to ephemeral, such as who will become the Senate majority leader, whether Billie Eilish wins the Grammy award for song of the year and the day’s high temperature in Chicago.

下一任商品期貨交易委員會主席將必須解決數位資產和所謂事件合約的監管問題。後者允許交易者在從重大到短暫的話題上押注，例如誰將成為參議院多數黨領袖、比莉·艾利甚是否贏得格萊美年度歌曲獎以及芝加哥當天的高溫。

Political prediction markets catapulted into public prominence in the lead-up to the November elections, but the regulatory landscape for them is in limbo due to pending court cases and rule-making efforts.

在 11 月選舉前夕，政治預測市場迅速成為公眾關注的焦點，但由於懸而未決的法庭案件和規則制定工作，政治預測市場的監管環境陷入困境。

Behnam, who has said he didn’t want the agency to be an “elections cop,” has waged a losing court fight with Kalshi Inc., a CFTC-regulated exchange that lets US customers bet on political contests.

貝納姆曾表示，他不希望該機構成為“選舉警察”，他與Kalshi Inc. 進行了一場官司，但最終敗訴。 ，允許美國客戶押注政治競選。
