即将上任的美国商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）主席表示区块链将有很大的希望

　　上周发表于福克斯新闻的Op-Ed文章中，即将上任的商品期货交易委员会主席Heath P. Tarbert博士评论了他对监管机构的愿景。塔伯特取代了广受欢迎的J. Christopher Giancarlo，他被区块链行业的支持者称为Crypto Dad。

　　在Op-Ed中，塔伯特表示他正在以开放的心态建立CFTC议程。当然，欺诈和滥用行为的追求将继续存在，但英国退欧等其他问题也是最重要的。

　　谈到Fintech的创新，Tarbert这样说：

　　“区块链等技术创新有很大希望，数字'货币'的兴起创造了新的资产类别。CFTC与我们的同行合作，必须为这些21世纪的商品开发一个整体框架。我们还必须密切关注新出现的威胁，特别是网络风险。保护这些风险，包括保护机密交易数据，是CFTC以及我们监管的公司和交易所的首要任务......我们如何监管与我们监管的一样重要......重振我们基于历史原则的方法，其中适当的，将有助于我们的市场保持公平，创新和充满活力。”

　　塔伯特将在国会夏季休会期间接管CFTC。当政策制定者在秋季回归时，他对创新的支持会更加清晰。

　　Incoming CFTC Chair says Blockchain Holds Great Promise

　　Published in an Op-Ed article on Fox News last week, incoming Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair Dr. Heath P. Tarbert commented on his vision for the regulatory agency. Tarbert replaces the wildly popular J. Christopher Giancarlo who was dubbed Crypto Dad by blockchain industry supporters.

　　In the Op-Ed, Tarbert said he was building the CFTC agenda with an open mind. Of course, the pursue of acts of fraud and abuse will continue, but other issues such as Brexit are top of mind.

　　When it comes to Fintech innovation, Tarbert had this to say:

　　“Technological innovations such as blockchain hold great promise, and the rise of digital ‘currencies’ has created a new asset class. Working with our counterparts, the CFTC must develop a holistic framework for these 21st-century commodities. We must also keep a weather eye against emerging threats, especially cyber risks. Protecting against these risks, which includes protecting confidential trading data, is a top priority of the CFTC as well as the firms and exchanges we regulate … How we regulate is just as important as what we regulate … Reinvigorating our historical principles-based approach, where appropriate, will help our markets remain fair, innovative, and vibrant.”

　　Tarbert takes the reigns of the CFTC during Congress’s summer recess. Expect more clarity on his support of innovation when policymakers return in the fall.
