As we hear from Melissa, she and her colleagues are working hard to try to get things right, balancing many interests.  LabCFTC provides an opportunity for innovators and regulators to interact.  Although the U.S. does not have a regulatory sandbox program, Melissa describes ways to work with regulators.  Melissa mentions the idea of “launch, learn, tune” several times, and that mindset seems like it can be a good approach for both innovators and regulators when done prudently.  The CFTC also has been active in responding to COVID-19, and there is information on its website to explain these initiatives.  Stick with us until the end to hear Troy and Lee chat about the regulation/innovation interface, including the case for more technologists at financial and other regulators.  COVID-19:  Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by the virus, and we applaud the workers on the front lines as they strive to bring the world through this troubling time.
