CFTC Launches Pilot Program for Crypto Collateral

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has introduced a new pilot program, allowing certain digital assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC to be used as collateral in US derivatives markets. This move, following the GENIUS Act, aims to bring more crypto trading into regulated American markets. The CFTC also released new guidance on tokenized real-world assets, confirming a technology-neutral approach. The agency withdrew an older advisory, deeming it outdated due to advancements in tokenization and legal changes. This comes after the CFTCs recent approval of spot crypto trading on registered exchanges.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
