#CFTCCryptoSprint The CFTC's Crypto Sprint initiative aims to regulate spot crypto trading on registered futures platforms, exploring possibilities for designated contract markets like the Chicago Mercantile Exchange to list spot contracts for major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Led by Acting Chair Caroline D. Pham, the initiative seeks to ¹:
- *Enhance Regulatory Clarity*: Provide clear guidelines for digital assets, strengthening the competitiveness of the US and attracting new international capital.
- *Streamline Oversight*: Align oversight of spot and derivatives markets under a single regulatory framework, improving market efficiency and investor access.
- *Foster Innovation*: Adapt existing rules to support innovation while maintaining strong regulatory oversight, with a focus on protecting retail and institutional investors.
The CFTC is seeking public feedback on proposed changes until August 18, 2025.
