The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) says 18 of the 82 enforcement actions that it filed in 2022 involved blockchain and digital assets.
In its latest enforcement izvještaj, the agency says it filed charges against several entities in the crypto space that committed various violations this year.
These include South Africa-based pool operator Mirror Trading International (MTI), which is embroiled in what the CFTC says is the largest Bitcoin-related fraudulent scheme it’s dealing with.
The regulator also filed charges against crypto futures exchange Digitex Futures, digital exchange and custodian Gemini, decentralized blockchain protocol bZeroX and its successor Ooki DAO, stablecoin issuer Tether and crypto trading platform Bitfinex.
Says CFTC chair Rostin Behnam,
“In the face of unprecedented financial market conditions directly impacting American consumers, emerging technological disruption, and growing retail investor participation, the CFTC continues its unwavering commitment to a robust enforcement program ensuring the markets we oversee are open, transparent, fair and competitive…
This FY 2022 enforcement report shows the CFTC continues to aggressively police new digital commodity asset markets with all of its available tools. I personally thank the Enforcement Division’s hardworking and dedicated leadership team and staff.”
Behnam has said he wants the CFTC to regulisati bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) as commodities rather than securities, and that the Commission is still working on designating the rest of the crypto markets.
“To ćemo morati da shvatimo, mislim zakonodavno, jer je ovo nova klasa imovine i postoje različite komponente i karakteristike ove klase imovine za razliku od tradicionalnih klasa imovine. Moramo se osloniti na sudsku praksu staru 70 godina da bismo utvrdili šta je hartija od vrednosti, a šta je roba. Imamo barem jedan sudski spor u istočnom okrugu New Yorka koji kaže da je Bitcoin roba. Postoje i drugi slučajevi, a mi samo pokušavamo da otkrijemo ovo.”
