Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Brian Quintenz In Support Of Final Interpretive Guidance: Retail Commodity Transactions Involving Certain Digital Assets
Date 24/03/2020
I support today’s final interpretive guidance regarding when “actual delivery” has occurred in the context of transactions with retail customers entered into on a leveraged, financed, or margined basis involving digital assets that are, or can be, used as a medium of exchange. In the past, the Commission has seen platforms offering retail customers the ability to enter into margined or financed transactions on all manner of commodities–foreign currencies, precious metals, for example–that are repeatedly rolled, offset against, or cashed out. Platforms offering digital assets to retail customers on a margined basis are the latest iteration of this activity.
