On March 28, 2025, the FIA Japan board and member firms had the honor to host a luncheon session with CFTC Acting Chairman Pham during her visit to Japan.
Titled “FIA Japan Welcomes Chairman Pham: Update on Japan Markets and US Regulatory Themes,” the session covered various topics relevant to both the Japanese and US markets, such as US and Japan regulatory harmonization (including US-customer access to JPY interest rate swap clearing at JSCC), CFTC’s roundtables on innovation and market structure, and crypto currencies & digital asset developments. The group also discussed other important topics, such as the impacts of event contracts, views over the use of Artificial Intelligence in the financial industry and the latest technological developments to shorten latency. In closing, Acting Chairman Pham welcomed any constructive feedback from FIA Japan and its members on how CFTC could further implement “Smart Regulations.”
FIA Japan is grateful to Acting Chairman Pham for taking the time to meet with us and for a fruitful and lively discussion.
