Odaily Planet Daily News: Former Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Christopher Giancarlo, will join investment bank Jefferies Financial Group in July as a senior advisor focused on investment banking. During his tenure, Giancarlo led the approval of the first Bitcoin futures contracts launched on CBOE and CME, maintaining a relatively lenient stance on cryptocurrency regulation.

In recent years, Jefferies has positioned itself as a "full-stack investment bank for crypto and blockchain," completing approximately 14 digital asset transactions totaling about $9 billion; since 2011, it has completed around 100 transactions in market structure and technology, totaling approximately $141 billion; currently, about 15 employees are dedicated to crypto business. Giancarlo stated that he will leverage his regulatory network to help Jefferies deepen its digital asset-related investment banking activities. (Bloomberg)
