CFTC Opens U.S. Market Access for Offshore Crypto Exchanges

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has paved the way for offshore crypto exchanges to access the U.S. market, a move that could significantly impact trading activity and regulatory landscapes. This new guidance allows non-U.S. platforms to register with the Foreign Board of Trade (FBOT) for direct access to the US market. This shift is expected to increase liquidity in BTC and ETH markets and boost institutional participation, offering clearer, safer pathways for global crypto exchanges to operate within the U.S. regulatory framework.
