CFTC Advances Federal Rules Framework for Crypto Trading

AI-assisted source synthesis · not an independent investigation.

On October 5, reports said that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) proposed two rules, Regulation CTX and Regulation CAM, which would respectively seek to regulate leveraged, margin, or financing-based crypto trading and establish a registration category for crypto asset market (CAM) trading platforms; the reports also noted that gaps in spot-market oversight remain. On October 6, PYMNTS reported that, after the Clarity Act failed to pass Congress, the CFTC issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking, considering the two rules as a means of establishing a federal regulatory framework. The two earlier reports described the procedural stage differently: the earlier report said the CFTC “proposed” two rules, while the later report said it had issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking and was still considering a framework. On October 13, TD Cowen forecast that formal rules would be proposed no earlier than the end of the first quarter or the beginning of the second quarter of 2027, and that final rules might be issued in early 2028; the report also said that the October 5 notice allowed the public 60 days to submit comments, after which the process would still require formal proposed and final rulemaking.
