Thank you @CFTCquintenz for your dedication and service as @CFTC Commissioner. It’s been a pleasure to serve with you since 2017.

FWIW, I think #crypto and #DeFi are less like the Wild West and more like a completely new frontier.

@MichaelPiwowar Thank you Mike!

@TimBoring Thank you Tim! Loved my visit to Michigan with you. Still remember that 48 row planter.

I’m honored to have served the derivative markets and the public in this role over the last 4 years. My term expired in April 2020, but I wanted to remain at the Commission as long as possible to ensure my voice was heard during the transition. My last day will be on 8/31/2021.

@HesterPeirce Thank you so much @HesterPeirce. It was special to be in this role while you have been at the SEC. I’m truly proud of all we have accomplished together. Keep fighting the good fight.

@CFTCquintenz Congratulations to @CFTCquintenz on your excellent work at the CFTC. I will miss working with and learning from you on issues like swaps/security-based swaps, private fund regulation, and crypto.

From my experience, fraud usually involves a level of centralization/control as well as opacity. Query if those two conditions exist in a true, full #DeFi system. If not, how does the idea of “investor protection” change, or shift from the govt’s to a participant’s prerogative?

@attorneyjeremy1 A futures contract on a security is in both the SEC’s and @CFTC’s jurisdiction. A futures contract on a pure commodity is only in the CFTC’s jurisdiction. There is a currently a futures contract on #ETH. It is only under the CFTC’s purview which makes ETH a non-security commodity

The House must continue to examine this issue to preserve our nation’s leading role in global #financial innovation.

I will work to ensure it provides protection for American innovation, & will put forward needed changes to achieve this goal.
