CFTC Chair Calls for U.S. Regulations on Offshore Exchanges Amid Binance Hack

CFTC Chair Michael Selig recently called for U.S. regulation of offshore cryptocurrency exchanges in light of the Binance hack. Selig highlighted significant gaps in protections at offshore platforms compared to U.S. financial market standards. He proposed an optional federal registration pathway that would require offshore exchanges to align with U.S. cybersecurity requirements, noting that the blockchain itself was not compromised in the attack but regulatory oversight remains necessary.
