Does an Understaffed CFTC Face a $4 Trillion Challenge?

Former SEC Special Counsel and Berkeley Law School Lecturer Hermine Wong, and CoinFund President Chris Perkins join CoinDesk's Jennifer Sanasie to analyze the significant shift in regulatory tone at the SEC and CFTC, moving from a "reign of terror" to a more collaborative era. The discussion covers the prospects for major crypto legislation, the critical challenge of an understaffed CFTC potentially overseeing a $4 trillion market, and the specific flaws within pending stablecoin bills. They also explore a unique proposal to use constitutional "privateers" to address national security threats in the digital asset space.
