CFTC Commissioner: Markets function best when regulators do not intervene

Summer Mersinger, the CFTC commissioner, and Chris Giancarlo, the former CFTC chairperson, referred to the SEC's regulatory style at the BlockTower investor conference. "We are not necessarily the kind of institution that will come out and say we know better than all of you and tell you how things work," Mersinger said. "We recognise that markets work best when regulators don't intervene."
