Save the date: AgCon is back.
Agriculture is the backbone of America’s economy and has been at the heart of the @CFTC’s mission from our very beginning.
Alongside @KState on October 22-23, 2026, in Overland Park, Kansas, AgCon will bring together agribusinesses from across the country. We’re there to listen and learn so we can keep our markets working for our hardworking farmers, ranchers, and producers.

For years, anti-crypto armies, doomers, and decelerationists stifled innovation, regulating by enforcement and driving transformational technologies like blockchain, AI, and prediction markets overseas.
On August 20, the @CFTC is turning the page and charting a course for the new frontier of finance as innovators, builders, thinkers, and entrepreneurs descend upon Washington for the inaugural meeting of the Innovation Advisory Committee.
CFTC retweeted
Farmers were the original beneficiaries of our derivatives markets and remain at the heart of everything we do at the @CFTC.
On National Farm Worker Appreciation Day, thank a farmer for putting the food on our tables and the clothes on our backs.

“American leadership in derivatives was built over generations through competitive markets, strong institutions, sound regulation, and a willingness to embrace innovation. Regulators around the world have long looked to the @CFTC as the standard setter for effective market oversight. Under my chairmanship, America will continue to define the field.”

Thank you to the good folks of AGP in David City, Nebraska for showing me around your crush facility and the education on everything that goes into producing high-quality soybean meal and oil.
The @CFTC is proud to regulate markets that allow AGP and agribusinesses like them to hedge risk and discover prices, delivering certainty for American agriculture.

Enjoyed touring Raikes' feedlot in Ashland, Nebraska, a 5th generation family-run operation that manages about 10,000 head of cattle.
Visits like these offer valuable insight into running a successful finishing operation and how the @CFTC and our markets can support our cattle producers every step of the way.
CFTC retweeted
America’s farmers and agribusinesses depend on well‑functioning derivatives markets to manage risk and nowhere is that clearer than in the cattle industry. We strengthen and safeguard these markets so the producers who rely on them can focus on what matters: feeding our nation.

I’ve been crystal clear: anyone who engages in insider trading in any of our markets will face the full force of the law. Today, the @CFTC took parallel action with @SDNYnews to charge an individual with insider trading involving event contracts.
The @CFTC won’t tolerate insider trading in our markets, and our Division of Enforcement will continue to vigilantly police our markets for any illegal actions.

Event contracts listed on CFTC-registered exchanges are derivatives subject to the CFTC’s exclusive regulatory authority. Whether the contract’s underlying event is sports, politics, corn, or grain, it trades on a federally-regulated exchange with an order book, clearing house, and investor protections.

The @CFTC plays a critical role in ensuring American farmers and agribusinesses can effectively manage their risks via well-functioning commodity derivatives markets.
I’m excited to announce the @CFTC is bringing AgCon back this October, in partnership with @KState’s Risk Management Center, to advance this mission.

Under my leadership at the @CFTC, the agency has made significant progress in expanding access to derivatives markets for agricultural growers and producers, reducing compliance burdens for small businesses, and making America the crypto capital of the world.
We'll continue to build on this transformative foundation as our work here is just getting started. Watch my opening statement at @HouseAgGOP⬇️

In my first 100 days as @CFTC Chairman, I’ve made significant progress in expanding access to risk management tools for farmers and ranchers, rolling back outdated rules and regulations, and delivering on @POTUS’ promise to make America the crypto capital of the world.
The @CFTC remains the gold standard for smart and effective oversight of the financial markets, and I’m committed to building on our transformative work to secure the agency’s leadership for years to come.

Pleased to see @POTUS and @SecRollins host our nation's farmers today at the @WhiteHouse. At the @CFTC, we're proud to complement their efforts by ensuring American farmers and ranchers can effectively use derivatives markets every day to manage their risks.

The @CFTC and @SECGov’s framework lays out a clear and simple road map for any company that wants to sell a crypto asset to raise capital, what their securities law obligations are, and the status of the crypto asset. As we work to create future-proof legislation, our interpretation is intended to help in the interim.
CFTC retweeted
For far too long, the Biden administration left crypto in limbo by driving many crypto firms offshore and creating confusion as to what’s a security and what’s not. @SECPaulSAtkins and I have developed a new interpretation that provides regulatory clarity for the crypto markets.

As AI rapidly advances, it's critical the US promotes and unleashes innovation here at home.
@POTUS' National AI Legislative Framework is an important step in securing American leadership in the AI race. I applaud @WhiteHouse for their commitment to promoting pro-innovation policies as we usher in a new Golden Age in America.
At the @CFTC, we'll continue to support these efforts by working to encourage AI in our markets. From autonomous systems to the emerging compute markets, the CFTC will strive to secure US global financial leadership in this innovative technology.
In December, President Trump signed an Executive Order tasking us with the development of a national framework for AI, what he called “One Rulebook.” This was in response to a growing patchwork of 50 different state regulatory regimes that threaten to stifle innovation and jeopardize America’s lead in the AI race.
Today we are releasing that framework. It will help parents safeguard their children from online harm, shield communities from higher electric bills, protect our First Amendment rights from AI censorship, and ensure that all Americans benefit from this transformative technology.
We look forward to working with our colleagues in Congress to turn the principles we are announcing today into legislation.
