According to CryptoNews information, Mo Shaikh, who previously led blockchain-based real estate app Meridio, and is a consultant to the World Economic Forum in terms of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), has extensive experience in the blockchain sector. With Shaikh joining this subcommittee, it is hoped that there will be a new push in formulating more comprehensive and innovative policies related to digital asset regulation.
Meanwhile, the CFTC has attracted increased public interest mainly in terms of digital asset regulation.

With Mo Shaikh joining this subcommittee, it is hoped that there will be a new push in formulating more comprehensive and innovative policies related to digital asset regulation, which will have a significant impact on the development of the crypto industry in the future.
