🇺🇸 The U.S. CFTC Launches "Crypto Sprint" to Fast-Track Digital Asset Reforms

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has launched a rapid-response initiative called “Crypto Sprint”, designed to swiftly implement the key priorities outlined in the White House’s latest digital asset strategy.

A recent report by the Digital Asset Working Group emphasized the urgent need for updated crypto regulations. Notably, it recommended that Congress formally recognize Americans’ right to self-custody their digital assets—free from reliance on intermediaries. The report also urged federal agencies to establish clear guidelines for banks operating in the crypto space, and called for structured frameworks around stablecoins, crypto taxation, and national digital asset reserves.

As for the CFTC, the report proposed expanding its authority to include oversight of crypto spot markets for commodity-classified digital assets. It also emphasized the need for closer collaboration with the SEC to eliminate regulatory uncertainty for companies involved in crypto trading, custody, and compliance.

The “Crypto Sprint” signals a more coordinated, accelerated approach toward shaping the future of U.S. digital asset policy.
