US CFTC announces Aptos Labs CEO Avery Ching and others as new members of the Global Markets Advisory Committee subcommittees

ChainCatcher news, Caroline D. Pham, Acting Chair of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), has announced the new member list for the Global Markets Advisory Committee (GMAC) and its subcommittees, and congratulated Avery Ching, Co-founder and CEO of Aptos Labs, on his appointment as a member of the Digital Asset Markets Subcommittee.

GMAC is one of the most important advisory bodies to the CFTC, composed of experts from both traditional finance and the digital asset sector. It has long provided policy advice to the CFTC, not only shaping U.S. regulatory decisions but also serving as a key reference for international discussions on global market structure and digital asset regulation. Pham stated that she looks forward to working with industry leaders such as Avery, Scott Lucas, Head of Digital Asset Markets at JPMorgan, and Sandy Kaul, Executive Vice President at Franklin Templeton, to promote the orderly development of the digital asset market.

Avery has over a decade of experience building large-scale infrastructure. Before founding Aptos, he was responsible for blockchain development, wallet infrastructure, and the Diem blockchain project at Meta. Avery's joining marks the rising influence of Web3 technology builders in global regulatory dialogues.
