The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has raised concerns about the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector, citing ‘serious risks’ due to a lack of accountability. The regulatory body’s report highlights the potential threats that the absence of transparency and accountability in DeFi protocols could pose to consumer and investor protection, financial stability, and market integrity.

DeFi, a rapidly growing sector in the cryptocurrency industry, operates without a central authority, making it difficult to regulate and monitor. This lack of oversight, according to the CFTC, could lead to substantial threats to various aspects of the financial system.

The report was updated on January 9, 2024, reflecting the CFTC’s ongoing scrutiny of the DeFi sector. The image accompanying the report is a combination of various content, which may include AI-generated material.
