[Cordillerabit]

Bart Chilton, the former commissioner of the U.S. Commodity and Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), is doubling down on his stated desire for a regulated market to foster the development of cryptocurrency trading.

The former U.S. government regulator announced on Jan. 23 that he will join the decentralized cryptocurrency exchange Omega One as an adviser, focusing on regulatory aspects in the U.S. and abroad as the exchange eyes attracting retail and institutional investors.

"We [Alex Gordon-Brandor, CEO of Omega One, and Chilton] spoke for a while and [Gordon-Brandor] explained how Omega One wanted to break the mold of most in the digital world of staying away from all things regulatory or government like a hot oven. He said we need transparency and disclosure and to abide by appropriate rules," Chilton explained.
