US commodities regulator proposes new federal crypto oversight rules
The proposal would create a new crypto asset market category with anti-manipulation controls, proof-of-reserves rules and futures commission merchant intermediation.
- On Monday, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission proposed a federal framework for cryptocurrency exchanges offering leveraged trading, aiming to bring parts of the spot market under national oversight.
- CFTC Chair Michael Selig noted the rules provide a "comprehensive regulatory framework" after Congress failed to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act last month, leaving exchanges to navigate burdensome state-by-state regimes.
- Under the new Regulation Crypto Asset Transactions and Regulation Crypto Asset Markets , exchanges must implement anti-market manipulation controls and satisfy a "proof of reserves" obligation.
- The proposal includes an "actual delivery" exemption for transactions finalized in less than 28 days, while the agency opened a 60-day public comment period to gather industry feedback.
- Despite these efforts, the CFTC lacks authority to oversee unvarnished spot market trading without leverage, meaning the regulator remains unable to fully police buying and selling of major tokens like Ethereum.
