#CFTCCryptoSprint What is the CFTC Crypto Sprint?

The Crypto Sprint is a concentrated effort by the CFTC to:

Evaluate and regulate digital assets (like Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, etc.)

Gather public input and industry feedback on crypto products and market risks

Propose frameworks for crypto trading, derivatives, DeFi, and more

It mirrors similar efforts like the SEC's Crypto Regulatory Sprint but often focuses more on commodities law, derivatives (futures/perps), and market integrity.

Key Goals of the CFTC Crypto Sprint:

1. Clarify jurisdiction: What falls under CFTC vs. SEC (or overlaps)?

2. Address crypto fraud & manipulation

3. Design risk frameworks for crypto derivatives, leverage, and DeFi ↓

4. Protect retail investors using futures/options
