The U.S. Accelerates 'Crypto Sprint': CFTC Expands to Custody, Leverage, and Investor Protection

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (#CFTC ) has just announced the third step in the 'crypto sprint' program, expanding its oversight from spot trading to digital asset custody, retail leveraged trading, and user protection mechanisms.

Acting Chair Caroline Pham emphasized that the goal is to build a unified federal legal framework for the digital asset market, instead of the fragmented situation among states. This is part of a four-phase process that started on August 1, in coordination with the SEC's Crypto project.

According to observers, this move shows that the U.S. is shifting from a 'punitive' policy to a 'facilitative' one, with the ambition of setting global standards for the digital asset market. A clear legal framework will help restore investor confidence, which has been shaken by numerous collapses in the industry.

The CFTC stated that upcoming sprints will address outstanding hot topics such as oversight #DEFİ , access to banking, taxes, and inter-agency coordination. This is seen as a foundational step for the U.S. to shape its leading position in the digital finance era.

The deadline for public feedback for this phase is October 20.

👉 With an increasingly comprehensive approach, the U.S. seems to be transforming crypto from a legal 'gray area' into a transparent market recognized at the federal level.
