Chris Giancarlo, the former chairperson of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), has pushed for the legalization of bitcoin futures and has been hailed by the industry as the "father of crypto." Giancarlo has repeatedly stated publicly that the CFTC is ideal for regulating crypto markets, especially in the context of bitcoin and ethereum being treated as commodities. The Trump administration's plan is in line with Giancarlo's claims, providing policy support for the CFTC to play a greater role in the regulation of digital assets. However, the CFTC's human and budgetary resources are relatively limited compared to the SEC's. In 2024, the CFTC's operating budget is $400 million, only one-sixth of the SEC's, and its staff is much smaller than the SEC's. Under these circumstances, the CFTC's ability to meet the expanded responsibilities remains an important practical question.
