Senator Warren Calls Weakened CFTC a 'Recipe for Disaster' on Friday as Workforce Shrinks 25%

According to The Block, Senator Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair Michael Selig on Friday arguing that the agency is ill-equipped to handle expanded responsibilities in regulating crypto and prediction markets. Warren cited reports that the CFTC's workforce has shrunk by around 25% and pointed to a major decline in enforcement actions since President Donald Trump took office. "A CFTC with fewer staff members, reduced enforcement activity, and expanded responsibilities is a recipe for disaster," Warren wrote, urging the agency to demonstrate its capacity to effectively police crypto and prediction market firms.
