Lets a financial watchdog modernize how it studies new market technologies.
This bill would let the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) update how it studies new technologies affecting financial markets. It would give the CFTC new ways to work with outside experts and accept non-cash help to understand these changes. This aims to help the public and market users better understand these complex areas.
Today, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has a more limited authority for its research and development programs. If this bill passes, the CFTC would gain modernized powers to establish new programs to understand emerging technologies, use special agreements with outside groups, and accept non-cash contributions like access to facilities or services. These new tools would come with new planning and annual reporting duties to Congress.
