Listen "Past, Present, and Future with Gary DeWaal"
Episode Synopsis
Join our fascinating discussion as Gary DeWaal reflects on how he got started in the derivatives industry from wearing his scarlet badge and learning the business as a CFTC enforcement officer in the trading pits to leading the Katten Financial Markets and Regulation Practice and the many experiences along the way. Some of the timely themes discussed include some of Gary's observations on DOGE and streamlining the agency, the trade off of the CFTC’s principles based regulations and enforcement authority, crypto and blockchain and the potential impact on financial markets, quantum computing, and some of exciting things to look forward from the CFTC going forward under Acting Chairman Pham and the nomination of Brian Quintenz. In Gary’s words, “we’re at the cusp of potentially very exciting regulatory developments” — join us as we continue to explore these developments and so much more!Follow, like, share, and subscribe for more great CFTC or derivatives related content.
