About CFTCCryptoRulemaking

On Oct 5, the CFTC began seeking public comment on potential rules for certain retail crypto transactions involving leverage, margin or financing. It is also considering a registration category for crypto asset markets. Comments are due within 60 days of publication in the Federal Register. The initiative does not broadly cover ordinary unleveraged spot trading. Separately, FinCEN withdrew proposed rules concerning unhosted wallets and crypto mixing.

Crypto regulation just borrowed a banking trick. The CFTC’s new CTX/CAM framework proposes a federal lane for crypto venues—without forcing every exchange into it. The sharper detail: venues holding pooled customer crypto could face proof-of-reserves, while token concentration, vesting, unlocks and buybacks may become formal listing-risk factors. This is still rulemaking, not law in force. #Crypto #CFTC #Regulation #DeFi #Markets

The CFTC’s focus on leveraged, margined, or financed retail crypto activity draws a useful boundary: the policy pressure is aimed at market structure and consumer exposure, not ordinary spot trading. A dedicated registration path could clarify responsibilities, but its value will depend on how narrowly the eventual rules are drawn. #CFTCCryptoRulemaking

The CFTC's proposed rule for regulated crypto exchanges that offer leveraged transactions *and* spot transactions could allow them to get out of state-by-state licensing rules, so long as they offer the leveraged trades & register as a CAM. More:

If $ETH can't reclaim $2,800 with real volume, the likely path is a final squeeze to $2,850 to trap late longs, then a breakdown. Below $2,600, the next stop is $2,500, and if that fails, $2,350. The ETF flow reversal is the key signal. Until spot demand returns, rallies are for selling, not holding.

CME filed its opposition to @CFTC's motion to dismiss on Friday. My thanks for the extensive citation of @HyperliquidPC's amicus brief and my tweets (hello!) despite failing to address our points on fixed vs. expanding markets and the zone of interests. CFTC's reply due 10/16.

🇺🇸 JUST IN: CFTC Chairman says only FEDERALLY regulated crypto exchanges would be able to offer leverage under its proposed rules. States "are only able to offer money transmission activity," Michael Selig said. He added the 100x leverage seen offshore has never been allowed in the US, "and this will be no different."

CFTC CHAIR SELIG: "I’M DISAPPOINTED THAT CONGRESS FAILED TO GET MARKET STRUCTURE LEGISLATION TO TRUMP'S DESK." "BUT THE CFTC HAS STATUTORY AUTHORITY AND WE'RE GOING TO USE IT TO PROTECT AMERICANS AND PROVIDE A FEDERALLY REGULATED PATH FOR CRYPTO."

Granted, a CFTC advance notice is a request for comments and not a rule. Still, a regulator asking whether crypto transactions should get their own category of regulated exchange tells me the conversation has moved from whether to how. That is my read, anyway.
