Clear lines of delineation and clarity on regulations is essential for American led innovation. Congress gave the CFTC the authority they needed. I applaud @MichaelSelig for his leadership in bringing about much needed certainty to our innovators.

Thank you for your leadership on this issue @SenMcCormickPA. I look forward to working together with @SECPaulSAtkins to develop clear rules of the road for American Prediction Markets.
Prediction markets offer tremendous opportunity for Americans. That’s why today at a @BankingGOP hearing, I asked @SECGov Chairman @SECPaulSAtkins how he and @ChairmanSelig are working together to support U.S. leadership in these markets and protect consumers.

This is history in the making. With @POTUS' leadership and a new era of coordination between the @CFTC and @SECGov, we're cementing the U.S. as the Crypto Capital of the World.
.@SECPaulSAtkins on digital assets: "We are out to harmonize the rules between the SEC and the CFTC, giving clarity and certainty to the innovators and to investors...so that people can develop their products in the United States rather than feel that they have to go offshore."
