CFTC'S CRYPTO SPRINT: THE DIGITAL ASSET REVOLUTION BEGINS IN AMERICA
The 170-page Digital Assets Report released by the White House in July 2025 under the Trump administration proposed classifying cryptocurrencies as commodities and granting the CFTC spot market authority (The White House, 2025). Following this report, after SEC's 'Crypto Project', the CFTC announced the 'Crypto Sprint' initiative, emphasizing that it will take steps focused on rapid implementation (CFTC, 2025).
CFTC Chair Caroline Pham stated that they would work closely with the SEC, but details were not shared (Pham, 2025, as cited in Cointelegraph, 2025).
The report aims to provide clarity in trading and registration processes, recommending that the CFTC enable spot crypto trading on federal exchanges to close existing regulatory gaps (U.S. Department of the Treasury, 2025).
According to CoinMarketCap, this 'sprint' aims to implement Trump’s proposal for 18 agencies, which will reduce regulatory uncertainty for crypto companies (CoinMarketCap, 2025).
Blockchain News states that the initiative will take key steps in U.S. crypto regulation in 2025 (Blockchain News, 2025).
These developments could strengthen the U.S.'s digital asset leadership and transform the global crypto ecosystem.
