The Desk: October Edition

The Desk: August Edition
There are roughly thirty more days until football season kicks off (Roll Tide!). This year I (all of us!) get to watch football and be thinking about price discovery at the same time. Meanwhile, the NCAA recently submitted testimony to the House Agriculture Committee that greater oversight of prediction markets is needed.

Enforcement Round-Up April was one of the most consequential months in more recent CFTC enforcement history, headlined by the agency bringing its first-ever insider-trading charges involving a prediction market, the resolution of several previously filed matters involving commodity pool fraud, and a growing wave of federal preemption suits against states concerning regulatory authority over prediction markets.

Happy October, the CFTC kept us very busy in September. Nonetheless, it’s time to plan your Halloween costume (unless like me, your children have already decided that for you). Options are Ghost of PTMMM (roams the halls giving mid), Zombie No-Action Letters (feels self-explanatory), and Guidance Gargoyle (feeds on withdrawing prior guidance letters). However, my kids have decided that I will be “Bobby” from K-Pop Demon Hunters. Maybe next year I’ll get to live out a swap related costume.

We hope everyone has a relaxing, safe, and enjoyable Fourth of July. Despite some personnel changes at the CFTC, the current administration seems to be hitting its stride in terms of enforcement actions and regulatory updates. As with nearly all things though, change may be just around the corner as Brian Quintenz had his hearing in June to be the next Chair of the CFTC.
The Desk: June Edition | JD Supra
Enforcement Round-Up While there was some—albeit limited—Enforcement activity in May (click here for last month’s enforcement actions), in this month’s Round-Up we want to highlight some updates that suggest the Enforcement front may continue to be quieter in the coming months. First, within two days of each other, Commissioners Summer Mersinger (Republican) and Christy Goldsmith Romero (Democrat) both publicly announced that they were stepping down and leaving the Commission at the end of May.

The Desk: March Edition | JD Supra
I was part of the generation that played with and traded Pogs – now worthless collectibles in the form of cardboard circles that we assigned value to solely based on the cartoon or picture on the Pog’s face. The SEC recently came out with a similar analysis of Meme Coins in a statement confirming Meme Coins are indeed not securities, but instead more like collectibles. In other news from last month, we found out that Brian Quintenz was nominated by President Trump to serve as the next CFTC Chair.
The Desk - February Edition | JD Supra
January is at least eight weeks – I’m certain of it. Now that it’s February we know who’s running the CFTC and its different Divisions, for the time being. Acting Chair Pham comes to her position with a long history of interesting and important dissents and other publications since becoming a Commissioner in April 2022, which may give us a glimpse into what the future holds for the CFTC under her leadership.

Carter explain guidelines issued in September for trading Voluntary Carbon Credits and discuss a regulator's first enforcement action related to them.

BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS OF FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY
Early years Peter Mansfield was born in Lambeth on 9 October 1933 to Sidney George Mansfield, a gas fitter, and Rose Lillian Mansfield (née Turner). The youngest of three brothers, Peter grew up in Camberwell but spent the war years as an evacuee in Babbacombe, Devon. He returned to London briefly in 1943, when it seemed that the bombing raids had subsided, in time to witness the arrival of the V1 rockets, and the first of the V2s.
