CFTC Cooperation

Definition

CFTC cooperation refers to instances where individuals or entities collaborate with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission during investigations or enforcement actions. This collaboration typically involves providing information, documents, or testimony to aid the CFTC in its oversight of derivatives markets, including certain digital assets. Such assistance can potentially influence the outcome of regulatory proceedings, often resulting in reduced penalties or more favorable resolutions. The degree and timing of cooperation are significant factors in the Commission’s assessment of misconduct.
