CFTC may take the lead in crypto oversight.
New U.S. bill aims to give the agency broader powers 🇺🇸⚖️
A group of U.S. senators has introduced a bill that would officially assign the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) a central role in regulating the spot crypto market, working in coordination with the SEC.
The proposal defines key crypto concepts — DeFi, DAOs, and blockchains — while setting out new rules for exchange and broker registration, capital standards, compliance, and client protection. It also introduces a “retail investor advocate” role and a dedicated funding source for the CFTC.
DeFi and AML topics are still being debated, but the bill already enjoys bipartisan support, which makes further progress highly likely.
If passed, it could reshape the U.S. regulatory map — with the CFTC at the wheel and crypto finally getting a clear rulebook.
