According to PANews, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is set to formally assess the level of cooperation or self-reporting by companies or individuals accused of misconduct before imposing fines. This move marks a shift in the enforcement approach of the derivatives regulatory body. CFTC Acting Chair Caroline Pham stated that the new advisory aims to create 'meaningful incentives' for companies to proactively address issues and resolve cases with reasonable penalties more swiftly. Pham also noted that this measure aligns with a directive from U.S. President Donald Trump's administration to eliminate regulations deemed overly 'burdensome' by the White House.
