On September 29, 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) convened a joint workshop in Washington D.C., aiming to create consistent regulations for the cryptocurrency market. This collaboration was spearheaded by SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins and CFTC Acting Chair Caroline D. Pham.
