CFTC advance notice: Regulation Crypto Asset Transactions and Regulation Crypto Asset Markets (91 FR 64811)New
An advance notice of proposed rulemaking in which the CFTC says it intends to write purpose-built rules for crypto asset transactions and markets under section 2(c)(2)(D) of the Commodity Exchange Act, the provision covering leveraged, margined or financed retail commodity transactions, and asks for public comment. It rests on the CFTC's existing powers rather than on the CLARITY Act, but is filed under the register's US crypto market structure regime. Payment stablecoins from permitted issuers under the GENIUS Act fall outside its definition of a crypto asset.
Consultation open · part of Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act), H.R. 3633
