Foresight News reported that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is adopting Nasdaq's surveillance program to play a greater role in regulating digital assets. In a statement on Wednesday, the CFTC stated that Nasdaq's program will protect the market from fraud, abuse, and manipulation. Acting Chair Caroline Pham said the new surveillance system will equip the agency with automatic alerts and cross-market analysis capabilities, and the CFTC is also preparing for the growth of the cryptocurrency market. Earlier this month, the agency launched the 'Crypto Sprint' initiative, focusing on cryptocurrency futures trading and recommendations outlined in the presidential digital asset market working group.
