CFTC Plans Tokenized Collateral Policy for Derivatives Markets

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is set to launch a tokenized collateral policy in early 2025, according to Odaily. This new initiative could enable stablecoins to be used as acceptable collateral for derivatives trades within the U.S. market. Pilot programs are expected to begin at various clearinghouses, and these pilot programs will introduce stricter regulatory measures. These regulations will require greater transparency, including detailed disclosures on position sizes, significant traders, trading volumes, and other operational events.
