The CFTC has initiated a program to enable trading of spot crypto asset contracts, inviting public input to refine the regulatory framework in coordination with SEC's Project Crypto and recommendations from Trump's Working Group.
The CFTC has launched its 'crypto sprint' initiative to allow trading of spot crypto asset contracts on registered futures exchanges. Acting Chair Caroline Pham stated that the agency can implement an immediate solution, as part of recommendations from President Trump’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets, which included 18 suggestions. The commission is seeking public feedback on key regulatory provisions, with submissions accepted until August 18, while noting ongoing challenges such as a shortfall in commissioners and delays in confirming a permanent chair.
