Remarks Of CFTC Commissioner Brian Quintenz At The DerivCon 2018: SEFCON Transformed, Pivoting From Adoption To Adaptation

Date 01/02/2018

Introduction

Thank you for that very kind introduction.

Before I begin, let me quickly say that the views contained in this speech are my own and do not represent the views of the Commission. I’m very pleased to be speaking here with you today at DerivCon 2018.

Let’s take a trip back in time. It’s the early 1980s. Beverly Hills Cop and Ghostbusters rule the box office. Prince and Tina Turner dominate the airwaves. The torture device known as the rotary telephone is being replaced with a push-button model. Chances are you do not have a personal computer at home; only 8% of U.S. households do. Those computers use floppy disks and run DOS. And IBM and the World Bank enter into a transaction ,which is widely considered to be the first swap.
