U.S. Regulators Propose Reforms for Cryptocurrency Markets

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have proposed several initiatives to support cryptocurrency markets. These include implementing a 24/7 market structure, similar to traditional financial markets, to better align the U.S. economy with the pace of digital asset trading. This would allow continuous online trading on stock exchanges, breaking away from strict weekday-specific business hours that have long been in place since 1985.
