US CFTC launches push to allow spot crypto trading on registered futures exchanges

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is launching a new initiative aimed at allowing the trading of spot crypto asset contracts on CFTC-registered futures exchanges.

  • Acting Chair Caroline Pham announced the move as the first step in a broader “crypto sprint”, which follows recommendations from the President’s Working Group on Digital Assets.
  • Under current law, leveraged or margined retail commodity trading must occur on designated contract markets (DCMs).
  • As part of this effort, the CFTC is now seeking public feedback on how to list spot crypto contracts on these regulated exchanges.
