Senior Counsel and Advisor
Commodity Futures Expert
Dubbed “CryptoDad” for his celebrated call on Congress to respect a new generation’s interest in cryptocurrency, the Honorable J. Christopher Giancarlo served as 13th Chairman of the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Considered one of “the most influential individuals in financial regulation” Giancarlo also served as a member of the US Financial Stability Oversight Committee, the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets, and the Executive Board of the International Organization of Securities Commissions.
Giancarlo is Senior Counsel to the international law firm, Willkie Farr & Gallagher. He is also the co-founder of the Digital Dollar Project, a not-for-profit initiative to advance exploration of a US Central Bank Digital Currency.
“The CFTC is a better place because of your tenure. You worked hard to break down ideological divisions and present positions supported by evidence and experience that were not rooted in the pitched battles of the past.”
- Hon. K. Michael Conaway
Former Chairman, US House Committee on Agriculture
“Our nation is blessed with individuals with Giancarlo’s caliber and devotion!”
