#CFTCCryptoSprint

The CFTC’s Crypto Sprint was a series of internal and public meetings held in 2020 by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Its purpose was to gather information and expertise on the evolving landscape of digital assets.

The initiative focused on three key areas: virtual currencies, stablecoins, and decentralized finance (DeFi). The CFTC engaged with industry experts, academics, and other stakeholders to better understand the technology, market structure, and potential risks and opportunities associated with these innovations. The goal was to inform the CFTC's regulatory approach, ensuring a balanced strategy that fosters innovation while protecting market integrity and customers. The sprint's findings have since contributed to the agency's ongoing policy discussions and regulatory actions concerning digital assets.
