The CEO of FTX cut an unlikely figure in a grey T-shirt, khaki shorts, sneakers, and his mane of untamed curly hair as he took the stage at this year’s big derivatives-industry conference in Boca Raton. Bankman-Fried stole the show with a groundbreaking proposal to US regulators to automate risk management in financial markets - using practices developed for digital assets.

In the process, he took a far different approach to dealing with the government than his more combative brethren in the libertarian-leaning crypto community. He invited oversight and sought a dialogue with the regulators — which he has received.
