0x Labs Senior Counsel Jason Somensatto lands a position at the CFTC
Ox Labs Senior Counsel Jason Somensatto is preparing to take a new role at the U.S. derivatives market regulator, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
In a short announcement, he expressed his gratitude to Ox Labs and indicated that this will be his last week with the DeFi project.
“A bit of news: This is my last week with 0x Labs. I’m so grateful to have worked with such a smart and kind group of people,” he wrote.
A new role at the CFTC
Somensatto will be starting a new role as a policy and tech specialist at the CFTC, an independent agency of the U.S. government created in 1974.“Next week, I will be joining the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a policy and tech specialist for LabCFTC,” reads Somensatto’s LinkedIn post.
“I am excited to help build a deeper understanding of how crypto assets and fintech intersect with regulation of the derivatives market,” he added.
The news has raised excitement among crypto members who believe Sommensatto’s expertise in the industry and his work at Ox Labs will play a crucial role in advocating for innovative and favorable crypto regulations.
CFTC regulatory position on the cryptocurrency industry
Somensatto’s appointment comes at a time when cryptocurrency regulation is a hot topic in the U.S. The Treasury Department proposed a new rule that requires exchanges, banks, and money service providers to verify the identities of users engaging in certain transactions.In a rather more positive development, the Office of Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) recently ruled that stablecoins and the blockchain can be integrated into the U.S. financial system.
The presence of an expert in working with blockchain startups can have a positive in the way that regulatory agencies view cryptocurrencies and allow them to co-exist with the current financial system.
The crypto industry is coming of age
There was a pattern of former Wall Street executives flocking into the crypto space, but now, there seems to be a new pattern of former blockchain firm employees taking jobs in regulatory agencies.Cryptonary reported that Michael Barr, a former advisor to Ripple is tipped to be picked by President Joe Biden to lead the OCC.
This will likely benefit the crypto industry in the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
