💥 BREAKING NEWS: CFTC Greenlights Spot Crypto Trading on Regulated U.S. Exchanges — A Historic First! 🇺🇸
NEW YORK — December 10, 2025, 4:51 AM EST
In a groundbreaking move that reshapes the U.S. crypto landscape, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has officially approved the trading of spot crypto contracts—including $ETH—on fully regulated, CFTC-registered exchanges.
For the first time ever, U.S. traders can directly buy and sell actual digital assets, not just derivatives, on federally supervised platforms. This approval allows Designated Contract Markets (DCMs), the same regulated venues trusted for commodities like gold and oil, to list physical crypto contracts.
Previously, most U.S. retail traders were pushed toward offshore platforms lacking strong regulatory protections. Now, with this new framework, spot crypto moves under the same robust oversight—bringing enhanced surveillance, transparent settlement, and stronger consumer safeguards.
Acting CFTC Chair Caroline Pham emphasized that this decision brings digital assets into the “gold standard” of market integrity that Americans expect.
Institutional players, brokers, and retail traders alike stand to gain from the regulatory clarity, which finally removes long-standing compliance barriers. Many see this as a pivotal step toward fully mainstreaming digital assets within the U.S. financial system.
