The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has appointed four crypto-savvy figures to its board, signaling a strategic push to strengthen oversight as digital assets increasingly intertwine with traditional finance. Rostin Behnam, former CFTC chair, leads the new appointees, bringing his track record of advocating for comprehensive crypto regulations while cracking down on market manipulation.

Behnam's tenure at the CFTC saw him champion proactive federal oversight for the $3.5 trillion digital asset market. His appointment, alongside Dan Gallagher and two others, injects FINRA's governance with expertise spanning derivatives regulation, public pensions, and financial services—a MOVE that aligns with broker-dealers' growing involvement in crypto trades.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
