The CFTC also has insider trading enforcement authority👇.
The CFTC should vigorously enforce the law and uphold the Commodity Exchange Act. This responsibility over our jurisdiction has been entrusted to us by the Congress and the American people. The CFTC must not break that trust, and we must remember whom we serve.
