Title: [2018-02-28] CFTC Employees Permitted to Trade Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies Post by: Sword555 on February 28, 2018, 04:22:28 PM https://btcmanager.com/wp-content/uploads/bfi_thumb/Cryptodad-Giancarlo-Positive-On-Bitcoin-nlrnm3ws7dt5otnp1vp2wzcnf90i9eyi1w5l6tlgru.jpg
It has been reported that the leading commodities regulator in the United States, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), has provided clarity on whether their workers can engage in cryptocurrency investing, a net positive for the crypto market. The CFTC is also responsible for the regulation of the bitcoin futures market. The CFTC has altered their ethics guidance principles to now allow employees to partake in the trading of cryptocurrencies once they don’t use margin to purchase them or utilize inside information they have obtained as a result of their occupation with the CFTC. Employees are still not allowed to make bitcoin futures-related investments as this would be a conflict of interest. https://btcmanager.com/cftc-employees-permitted-trade-bitcoin-cryptocurrencies/ |
