CFTC Chair Selig Raises AI Agent Oversight Questions at Forum

Selig's questions matter less as a policy signal than as a map of where the CFTC sees friction: identity, liability and registration are the same fault lines that already complicate crypto intermediation, now applied to software agents. The absence of any new rules or guidance leaves the industry without a compliance anchor, and the proposed "Know Your Agent" concept would, if pursued, push identity obligations onto agent developers rather than end users. Whether the agency moves from questions to a formal proposal is the open question worth watching.
