미국 상품선물거래위원회(CFTC) 내부 관계자가 폴리마켓, 크립토닷컴, 제미니 계열사 등 도널드 트럼프 대통령 일가와 연관된 암호화폐 기업들에 대한 우려를 제기한 뒤 자리에서 물러났다고 뉴욕타임스(NYT)가 보도했다. 당시 CFTC 권한대행 위원장이었던 캐롤라인 팜과 수석 법률 고문 브리짓 와일스는 이들 기업이 규제 승인 절차를 원활히 통과하거나 감독을 피할 수 있도록 개입한 것으로 전해졌다. 이후 두 사람은 각각 문페이와 제미니 타이탄으로 자리를 옮겼다. 내부 관계자들은 크립토닷컴의 개인 투자자 보호 문제, 폴리마켓의 사기 방지 체계 미흡, 제미니 타이탄의 필수 점검 미완료 등을 우려했던 것으로 알려졌다.

The New York Times reported that an insider at the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) resigned after raising concerns about cryptocurrency companies linked to President Donald Trump&#39;s family, including Polymarkets, Crypto.com, and Gemini affiliates. Caroline Pham, then acting CFTC chair, and Chief Counsel Bridget Wiles reportedly intervened to help these companies smoothly pass regulatory approval processes or evade oversight. The two subsequently moved to MoonPay and Gemini Titan, respectively. Insiders reportedly expressed concerns regarding issues with protecting individual investors at Crypto.com, inadequate fraud prevention systems at Polymarkets, and Gemini Titan&#39;s failure to complete mandatory inspections.
