The post Jeff Park Says CFTC Should Lead U.S. Crypto Regulation, Not SEC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jeff Park said the proposed U.S. crypto bill would shift regulatory power from the SEC to the CFTC. He noted that Uniswap’s long-awaited fee switch marks a major milestone for DeFi innovation under clearer regulations. Park also highlighted Square’s Bitcoin payments, cautioning against micro-transactions. In a recent podcast with Anthony Pompliano, Jeff Park, Partner and Chief Investment Officer at ProCap BTC, weighed in on the proposed U.S. crypto market structure bill. Park said the bill makes one thing clear: the CFTC would get more control over crypto, taking much of that power away from the SEC. He explained that the CFTC’s mandate aligns more closely with the core functions of crypto, including capital efficiency, derivatives, leverage, and financial innovation. According to Park, crypto behaves more like a global commodity market than a domestic securities market, making the CFTC a more natural fit. He added that this regulatory clarity will likely unlock new types of innovation across decentralized finance (DeFi). It will allow developers to move ahead with features that were previously stalled due to SEC pressure.

This update allows the protocol to accrue fees to UNI token holders. He called the move “momentous,” noting that Uniswap has settled trillions of dollars in value but has never been able to direct revenue to token holders due to regulatory concerns. Park said SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s stance on tokenholder economics previously made activation impossible. With a shifting regulatory environment and clearer guidance pointing toward CFTC oversight, Park believes more proactive and transformative updates like this will soon follow across the DeFi sector.

The Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, is expected to begin slashing interest rates on Wednesday, with analysts expecting a 25 basis point (BPS) cut and a boost to risk asset prices in the long term.Crypto prices are strongly correlated with liquidity cycles, Coin Bureau founder and market analyst Nic Puckrin said. However, while lower interest rates tend to raise asset prices long-term, Puckrin warned of a short-term price correction.  “The main risk is that the move is already priced in, Puckrin said, adding, “hope is high and there’s a big chance of a ‘sell the news’ pullback. When that happens, speculative corners, memecoins in particular, are most vulnerable.”Read more
