In a report published on January 08, 2023, the regulatory institution regulating futures, swaps and options in the U.S., the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) suggested that policymakers should figure out a way to identify the individuals involved in DeFi ( Decentralized Finance).  

The report urges that policymakers should recognize and organize projects of greatest concern and focus on digital identity, know your customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) regime and calibration of privacy in DeFi. 

The CFTC’s research emphasizes the absence of responsibility and accountability in the DeFi industry claiming that this uncertainty creates a danger to consumers, investors, financial stability and market integrity.  

The report advocates for prompt coordination between the government and industry players to solve the challenges. Lawmakers should initiate and mark significant steps in addressing the challenges originating in Decentralized Finance.   

The director of Policy at Paradigm and a member of CFTC tech advisory group, Justin Slaughter called the report “the first major report on DeFi by a government advisory committee and is arguably the most comprehensive review of DeFi by any U.S. government agency so far”.

He acknowledged that the committee proposal lacks legal authority, but described the study as a “major step forward for lawmaking on DeFi”. The reports also recommended investigative alternatives for regulating and implementing standards for identity information discoverability and verification at all layers of the ecosystem.
