Christopher Giancarlo. The discussion reviewed Giancarlo’s background as a securities lawyer and entrepreneur in financial market infrastructure, including his analysis of credit default swap data during the 2008 financial crisis, which informed his views on systemic risk. He described his tenure at the CFTC, where he supported engagement with emerging [digital asset](https://iq.wiki/wiki/digital-assets) markets and oversaw the launch of [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) futures in 2017. The conversation addressed recent legislative proposals related to [stablecoins](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stablecoin) and broader market structure, partisan divisions over [digital asset](https://iq.wiki/wiki/digital-assets) and [decentralized finance](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi) regulation, and comparisons between the current regulatory environment and the early development of the internet. Giancarlo emphasized the importance of coordination between the CFTC and SEC, bipartisan leadership, and balanced regulation that supports innovation while providing market oversight.

Voyles outlined the EPA’s continued operations and described his background in state and federal government, emphasizing a preference for state-level decision-making and limited federal intervention where possible. The discussion examined the EPA’s relevance to [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) [mining](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mining) and AI data centers, particularly in relation to energy management, permitting, and emissions standards, including proposed legislation such as the Clean Cloud Act. Voyles highlighted the potential for coordinated regulatory frameworks to support infrastructure development while addressing environmental concerns, and he emphasized collaboration with industry participants to encourage responsible energy practices and improve regulatory processes. [\\[9\\]](#cite-id-qkJMO62rqnjtaTY0) \n\n[YOUTUBE@VID](https://youtube.com/watch?v=jtuLE-3IobQ)\n\n### Fox Business & Bitcoin\n\nIn a May 2025 interview on the *Bitcoin Treasuries* podcast with Tim Kotzman, Terrett discussed her background in broadcast journalism, including nearly a decade at Fox Business, where she progressed from production assistant to producer covering [cryptocurrency](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency) and financial regulation. She described how her reporting on the SEC’s case against [Ripple](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ripple-labs) deepened her focus on [digital asset](https://iq.wiki/wiki/digital-assets) policy, and noted that she later expanded her knowledge of [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) through academic study at Oxford. The conversation examined the regulatory environment surrounding [crypto](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency), including enforcement actions affecting companies such as [Coinbase](https://iq.wiki/wiki/coinbase) and [Kraken](https://iq.wiki/wiki/kraken), and the broader impact of SEC leadership on the industry. Terrett also addressed shifts in media consumption toward podcasts and digital platforms, the evolving legislative landscape for [Bitcoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitcoin) and digital assets in Washington, and the growing intersection between government policy and the [crypto](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency) sector. [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-f3tcGYw4It2tiNgi)  \n\n[YOUTUBE@VID](https://youtube.com/watch?v=mKl2ExxsSI4)\n\n### New Crypto Bill\n\nIn a July 2023 interview on [The Wolf of All Streets](https://iq.wiki/wiki/scott-melker-the-wolf-of-all-streets) podcast, Terrett discussed the introduction of the proposed “Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act,” legislation aimed at establishing a comprehensive regulatory framework for [digital assets](https://iq.wiki/wiki/digital-assets) in the United States. She outlined how the bill would divide oversight between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission based on asset classification, and described provisions such as a temporary safe harbor for companies seeking registration and expanded access for unaccredited investors under defined limits. Terrett noted the bill’s breadth and complexity, including its approach to determining whether a [digital asset](https://iq.wiki/wiki/digital-assets) qualifies as a security or commodity through a decentralization assessment, while also raising questions about enforcement, self-custody, and market impact. The discussion further addressed ongoing tensions between regulators and industry participants, the proposal for an advisory committee to facilitate collaboration, and broader efforts to modernize U.S. financial infrastructure alongside developments in [digital assets](https://iq.wiki/wiki/digital-assets).
