#CFTCCryptoSprint

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has launched a “Crypto Sprint”—a fast‑track effort to implement President Trump’s crypto policy agenda drawn from a Working Group report issued in January 2025.

Under Project Crypto, the CFTC and SEC are working jointly to clarify digital asset classifications, regulatory roles in commodities vs. securities, DeFi integration, token custody, and rule updates for blockchain‑based derivatives.

The goal: enable spot crypto trading on CFTC‑regulated futures exchanges without new legislation, boost transparency and consumer protection, and give U.S. markets a competitive lead in crypto innovation.
