From The Forums: J.Christopher Giancarlo, a.k.a 'Crypto Dad', the Chairman at the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, identified a few factors that are challenging regulators when it comes to the adoption of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology in this Op-ed on Coindesk. Crypto Dad listed four cornerstones that the CFTC should adhere to, to keep up with rapidly changing markets and technological developments. Adopting an "exponential growth mindset" that anticipates the rapid pace of technological innovation and the need for an appropriate regulatory response Becoming a "quantitative regulator" able to conduct independent market data analysis across different data sources, including decentralized blockchains and networks, without being reliant on self-regulatory organizations and market intermediaries Embracing "market-based solutions" to determine the value of technological innovations, as we witnessed with the launch of crypto-asset-based futures products Establishing an internal fin-tech Stakeholder to address the opportunities and challenges that fin-tech presents and manage the ever-present tension between innovation and regulation.       4. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated at Consensus during New York Blockchain Week that Coinbase Custody has $1 billion of cryptocurrency under management. Coinbase Custody, which is meant to manage and hold the funds of large institutions, launched 12 months ago and has 70 institutions adding a total of about $150 million assets under management per month. The majority of institutions that make up their customer base are token specific funds and venture capital funds that acquired tokens during ICOs or private sales. -COIN DESK       A MESSAGE FROM BITWAVE Take the Hassle Out Of Working with Crypto Working with crypto can be tough.
