On 22 December 2025, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced a targeted expansion of its digital asset advisory framework, with Caroline D. Pham, Acting Chairman of the Commission, confirming that Rob Hadick of Dragonfly Capital Partners has joined the Global Markets Advisory Committee’s Digital Asset Markets Subcommittee. Acting Chairman Pham currently sponsors the Global Markets Advisory Committee.
Rob Hadick serves as a General Partner at Dragonfly Capital Partners, where his work centres on digital asset investment strategy, innovation in market structure, and the expansion of global market access across blockchain-based financial systems. His appointment brings direct market-practitioner expertise into the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s formal advisory processes at a time when digital asset market structure and cross-border regulatory coordination remain central policy priorities.
Announcing the appointment, Caroline D. Pham, Acting Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, stated: “Rob’s deep insight into digital asset markets and his experience at the intersection of technology and finance make him an invaluable addition to the GMAC’s Digital Asset Markets Subcommittee.” She further acknowledged the broader contribution of the advisory ecosystem, adding: “I am extremely grateful for the hard work, dedication, and thoughtful contributions of all members of the GMAC and its three subcommittees, Global Market Structure, Digital Asset Markets and Technical Issues, throughout my time as Acting Chairman and Commissioner. Their expertise and commitment have been invaluable to the Commission, and I look forward to the important work the GMAC and its subcommittees will continue to deliver in support of the CFTC’s mission. Thank you to Amy, Darcy, Brad, Sandy, Scott, Tara, and Allison for their leadership and tireless service as chairs of the GMAC and its subcommittees.”
The Digital Asset Markets Subcommittee plays an important role in advising the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on emerging crypto and blockchain-based market dynamics, including trading infrastructure, liquidity formation, systemic risk, and international coordination.
