美国商品期货交易委员会主席 Rostin Behnam 计划于 1 月 20 日辞职

根据衍生品市场监管机构周二的一份声明，贝纳姆将于 2 月 7 日离开该委员会。

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.

根据衍生品市场监管机构周二的一份声明，商品期货交易委员会主席 Rostin Behnam 将于 1 月 20 日辞职，并于 2 月 7 日正式离开该机构。

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 年初以来一直领导 CFTC 的贝纳姆将辞去在该机构的职务，因为该机构面临着监管新市场和资产类别的越来越大的压力。

"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.”

贝纳姆在声明中表示：“过去几年，众多国内和全球事件考验了所有金融市场的弹性。我感到自豪的是，委员会始终做出深思熟虑和有意的决定，以确保持续的实力。”

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.

作为 CFTC 主席，贝纳姆主张立法让该机构成为主要的比特币监管机构，并监督加密货币交易。该机构还审查并有时试图阻止那些让美国人押注美国大选结果的公司。

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.

贝纳姆曾是参议院农业委员会主席黛比·斯塔贝诺 (Debbie Stabenow) 的助手，于 2017 年以专员身份加入 CFTC。他于 2021 年成为代理主席，一年后宣誓就职。

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.

贝纳姆在 10 月 22 日接受彭博电视台采访时表示，CFTC 在处理新市场、资产类别和参与者方面一直“捉襟见肘”。

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.

下一任商品期货交易委员会主席将必须解决数字资产和所谓事件合约的监管问题。后者允许交易者在从重大到短暂的话题上押注，例如谁将成为参议院多数党领袖、比莉·艾利什是否赢得格莱美年度歌曲奖以及芝加哥当天的高温。

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 月选举前夕，政治预测市场迅速成为公众关注的焦点，但由于悬而未决的法庭案件和规则制定工作，政治预测市场的监管环境陷入困境。

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.

贝纳姆曾表示，他不希望该机构成为“选举警察”，他与 Kalshi Inc. 进行了一场官司，但最终败诉。Kalshi Inc. 是一家受美国商品期货交易委员会 (CFTC) 监管的交易所，允许美国客户押注政治竞选。
