Listen "Keeping up with the New Normal, with Renato Mariotti"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Renato Mariotti shares parts of his journey from working on the first spoofing case as an AUSU, the Flash Boys, and bunking in at an FIA conference to learn more about the derivatives space, to now being on the front lines of advising industry participants on “getting used to the new normal” at the CFTC as it undergoes a “reconceptualization of priorities” under Acting Chairman Pham. Enjoy the discussion of advice received and dispensed to early entrants to the derivatives space, including the quick hit list of areas to focus on and the need for a growth mindset, the crypto sprint, and what recent CFTC press releases may be signaling to the industry beyond the page. Enthusiasm for the CFTC as an agency certainly abounds now as it seems poised to expand its remit, and hopefully its resources as well, in the near future.
