CFTC to Launch Leveraged Crypto Trading: Impact on Markets Expected by December 2025

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is set to introduce leveraged spot crypto trading on major U.S. exchanges by December 2025, marking a significant regulatory shift in the digital asset sector. This move could reshape market dynamics and attract substantial institutional investment, potentially boosting U.S. retail adoption while increasing trading volatility. The CFTC’s initiative aligns with efforts to provide clearer regulations for digital assets. The CFTC aims to accelerate market integration and facilitate institutional involvement by allowing them to trade leverage-based crypto products on regulated exchanges.
