The CFTC established an Innovation Advisory Committee ("IAC") "to gather expertise and recommendations on innovation in financial markets."
The IAC replaces the former Technology Advisory Committee and will consist of a "balance of viewpoints" including industry, regulators, and fintech providers. The CFTC noted that it expects to include members of the "CEO Innovation Council" as charter members and is seeking additional nominations through January 31, 2026.
