“The Administration has made it clear that enabling immediate trading of digital assets at the Federal level is a top priority,” said Acting Chairman Pham. “I am pleased with the many thoughtful letters from stakeholders in support of the CFTC’s listed spot crypto trading initiative, which, in coordination with the SEC’s Project Crypto, answers President Trump’s call to action for American leadership. The public feedback will assist the CFTC in carefully considering relevant issues for leveraged, margined or financed retail trading on a CFTC-registered exchange as we implement the President’s directive. The Trump Administration has ushered in a new dawn for crypto, and it’s up to market participants to seize this opportunity to be a part of the Golden Age of innovation. Starting today, I am beginning stakeholder engagement on all other report recommendations for the CFTC with the full support of the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets to operationalize President Trump’s promise to win on crypto.”
The CFTC invites all interested stakeholders to submit feedback and suggestions on all recommendations for the CFTC in the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets report, Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology.
