CFTC Unveils Next Phase of Crypto Initiative, Seeking Public Input

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has launched a new phase of its ‘Crypto Sprint’ initiative, aiming to advance US crypto regulations according to former President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency roadmap. The CFTC invites public feedback on recommendations from the Presidential Working Group on Financial Markets report, seeking input on policy design within their jurisdiction until October 20, 2025. This phase builds upon the first phase focused on technical preparations for spot crypto trading contracts traded on registered futures exchanges. Further details remain undisclosed but the working group’s recent report suggests interagency collaboration on registration, custody, trading, and record-keeping. The CFTC plans to consider these recommendations with a focus on market integrity and consumer protection.
