CMIC, launched in February 2022 by 17 co-founding exchanges, firms and industry associations, gives a unified voice to the crypto industry’s commitment to continually improving market integrity and collaboration with regulators. The coalition takes on initiatives that promote market integrity, address gaps identified by its signatories, and further engagement with regulators. Currently, CMIC is developing market integrity training specifically designed for the unique characteristics of digital asset markets and the challenges compliance professionals face in countering manipulation in these markets. In July, CMIC members met with SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and CFTC Commissioner Caroline Pham for a roundtable discussion on what responsible market participants can do to enhance market integrity in digital asset markets, what are the biggest risks to the industry’s growth, and how the industry can work with regulators to mitigate those risks.

“As one of the first cryptocurrency exchanges, Bittrex has long prioritized security and trust for our users,” said Michael Carter, Chief Compliance Officer at Bittrex. “The ongoing work of CMIC aligns closely with that goal, which is why we're pleased to join the organization in enabling a safe and regulated ecosystem for digital assets. We look forward to working with fellow coalition members on collective educational efforts and sharing insights that will contribute to the industry's continuing evolution.”

"We're seeing increasing appetite on the part of institutional investors to actively participate in the growing digital asset economy, and regulatory clarity will address concerns that have stemmed from uncertainty. We continue to welcome discussion with policymakers on how to encourage innovation while protecting investors and businesses,” said Jeff Horowitz, BitGo Chief Compliance Officer.

“We are delighted to see the industry’s support for CMIC, as leading crypto firms continue to sign the pledge to maintain the highest standards of compliance and risk mitigation,” said Asaf Meir, Co-founder and Chief Executive of crypto risk monitoring firm Solidus Labs which initiated CMIC. “Now more than ever before, it is clear that crypto’s potential depends on the ability to mitigate its new risks and provide demonstrable market integrity - and we look forward to continuing - and accelerating - our joint effort to advance safe and regulated crypto.”
