According to BlockBeats, on August 21, Lighter CEO Vladimir Novakovski stated at the inaugural meeting of the CFTC Innovation Advisory Committee in the United States that DeFi has long been misunderstood and should not be viewed as an adversary of regulators. He pointed out that DeFi transactions are verifiable and recorded on an on-chain ledger, which helps regulators work on transparency, consumer protection, and market fairness.

Novakovski stated that decentralized, verifiable finance is expected to become an important part of the future financial infrastructure in the United States, especially in terms of cybersecurity and operational resilience. The industry should promote the development of more technologies towards open-source and verifiable technology stacks.

In addition, he said that AI has the potential to democratize finance, allowing users to build a portfolio of trading or investment strategies based on their own judgments on macroeconomics, industries, and other areas. Such capabilities have previously been primarily available to high-net-worth individuals and professional fund managers.

Novakovski points out that the main risk facing AI in the financial sector is consumer protection risk, such as users not understanding the actual function of AI models or being misled by misleading advertising of model capabilities. Therefore, before AI models are widely applied to consumers, it is necessary to establish appropriate sandbox mechanisms to verify the effectiveness and formal verifiability of the models.
