The CFTC launched today (August 5, 2025) the "Crypto Sprint" program, aimed at quickly implementing clear regulations for digital assets in the U.S.
Under this initiative, the public is invited to provide feedback on enabling spot cryptocurrency trading contracts in authorized futures markets (DCM).
The approach seeks to leverage existing regulations —especially section 2(c)(2)(D) of the Commodity Exchange Act and Part 40 rules— to allow leveraged spot trading within regulated platforms.
This will be done in coordination with the SEC's "Project Crypto."
This regulatory sprint opens an official sandbox for developers and startups, encouraging innovation under a more transparent legal framework.
All stakeholders are expected to submit their comments by August 18.
