Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Kristin N. Johnson Regarding CFTC Signing A Memorandum Of Understanding With French Regulators

Date 27/10/2023

Today, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with our sister agency in France, the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF). The MOU further extends and formalizes what has long been a strong and productive cooperative relationship between the two agencies and ensures that both agencies can apply the proper oversight to registered entities operating within each other’s jurisdictions. Indeed, as the MOU lays out, this is actually the tenth extant agreement, dating back to 1990, that enhances cooperation between the CFTC and the AMF. Our cooperation and collaboration improve our ability to protect customers, foster integrity and confidence of financial markets, and reduce systemic risk.

Overdue: Statement Of Dissent On LBRY, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Oct. 27, 2023

Date 27/10/2023

The Commission has brought many troubling crypto enforcement actions, but the LBRY, Inc. (“LBRY”) case has especially unsettled me. A statement on the case is overdue. I did not support bringing the case, but have been unable to speak publicly about my concerns while the case has been in litigation. Last week, after losing in federal district court on the question of whether the sale of LBRY tokens was an unregistered securities offering, LBRY announced that it will not move forward with an appeal of the decision. Instead, the company will shut down and its assets will be placed in receivership and used to satisfy its debts, including the civil money penalty owed to the Commission. Are investors and the market really better off now after the Commission’s litigation contributed to the demise of a company that had built a functioning blockchain with a real-world application running on top of it? This case illustrates the arbitrariness and real-life consequences of the Commission’s misguided enforcement-driven approach to crypto.
