CFTC Unveils Initiative for Trading Listed Spot Crypto

Published by

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has launched an initiative to enable trading for crypto asset contracts through its regulated exchanges. According to acting chairman Caroline Pham, the initiative is the first crypto-focused move geared to enable the mainstream adoption of digital assets in the United States.

Furthermore, President Donald Trump has directed all respective agencies to implement clear crypto regulations as guided by Congress. Pham highlighted that the CFTC’s initiative will work to implement the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets report, which was recently released.

“The Commodity Exchange Act currently requires that retail trading of commodities with leverage, margin, or financing must be conducted on a DCM. Starting today, we invite all stakeholders to work with us on providing regulatory clarity on how to list spot crypto asset contracts on a DCM using our existing authority, as I have previously proposed since 2022,” Pham noted.

What Will Be the Expected Impact of CFTC’s Crypto Initiative Amid Ongoing Macro Bull Market?

The CFTC has made a deliberate effort to engage the members of the public in implementing its initiative for enabling the trading of spot crypto asset contracts on its regulated exchanges. The agency expects written submissions from the members of the public by August 18, 2025.

After the agency implements the recommendations from the members of the public through the legally stipulated channels, the demand for crypto assets will skyrocket exponentially. Furthermore, investors will seamlessly access crypto assets through the CFTC’s registered exchanges.

The ongoing macro crypto bull market is heavily bolstered by the demand from institutional investors, led by Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR) and BlackRock’s IBIT.
