Breaking: CFTC Chair Michael Selig has moved quickly to establish an Innovation Advisory Committee in his early leadership of the agency. The panel brings together key players shaping the crypto derivatives landscape, with representatives from Polymarket, Kalshi, Gemini, and Nasdaq joining the table. This signals the regulator's intent to engage directly with platforms at the forefront of crypto innovation and decentralized prediction markets, marking a significant step in bridging traditional finance infrastructure with emerging digital assets.

Damn, they're really getting things done, not just talking about it.

Selig is acting so quickly? It feels like this time they really want to have a serious chat. --- Polymarket and Kalshi are both on the table, this is a serious signal. --- CFTC is really starting to lower its head and be obedient haha. --- Nasdaq is also here, is traditional finance about to embrace us? --- The Innovation Committee sounds good, but I’m just worried it’s another formality. --- Finally, someone is paying attention to crypto derivatives, it’s not easy. --- Will this move truly push things forward, or will we be arguing for another year? --- What does Gemini represent here? It’s all about the money, right? --- Wow, they’ve directly incorporated prediction markets into the framework.

Selig's move is quite bold, directly bringing the Polymarket folks into a meeting? It feels like they're trying to put a stranglehold on the crypto circle...

Selig's move is quite interesting, finally someone willing to listen to our voice. Polymarket and Kalshi appearing together? What are they trying to do... Nasdaq is also here, traditional finance is truly entering the scene. Wait, can this committee really make a difference? Or is it just another consolidation?

Selig's move is quite interesting; it seems that regulators are also starting to keep up with the pace.
