Under the plan, the SEC will:
Update derivatives business licenses to allow licensed digital asset operators to offer crypto-referenced contracts
Review exchange and clearinghouse frameworks to support crypto-based products
Finalize contract specifications through TFEX to ensure effective risk oversight
