“Super intelligence is poised to transform our financial markets,” said Chairman Michael S.

After a keynote speech from Michael Selig, CFTC Chair, panelists will discuss “Use of Super Intelligence in Derivatives Markets. Moderator Greg Xethalis, Partner and General Counsel, Multicoin Capital, will lead panelists on a discussion of SI systems could change the way financial markets operate, how prices are discovered, how risks are managed, and how regulators could oversee these evolving SI-driven markets. Later, panelists will discuss “Agentic Trading” where moderator Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, head of legal at ChainLink Labs will lead a discussion on emergence of autonomous SI agents capable of conducting financial transactions, and how these systems interact with existing market infrastructure, as well as how the CFTC’s regulatory framework should apply when agents transact on behalf of market participants.
Officials said the meeting will be live-streamed on the CFTC website, and will include dial-in information.
