SEC, CFTC end years of rivalry with deal that will mean combined crypto oversight
The SEC and Commodity Futures Trading Commission will share data, align definitions, and coordinate enforcement to reduce regulatory conflicts and streamline crypto oversight.
- On Wednesday, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission signed a memorandum of understanding to coordinate oversight of digital assets and emerging technologies, planning to share information and jointly review new crypto products.
- Regulators framed the deal as a way to reduce longstanding jurisdictional fights and create a clearer federal framework for crypto companies.
- Agency staffs of the SEC and CFTC will meet regularly to share data on enforcement and hold joint meetings with regulated firms, coordinating enforcement sequencing and public communications when cases overlap.
- The move does not create binding rules, but it signals a shift toward unified oversight in Washington, and supporters say clearer coordination could ease launches and affect the regulated majority of the crypto sector.
- Having previously taken contradictory positions on asset classification, the agencies now coordinate, with SEC Chairman Paul Atkins and CFTC Chairman Mike Selig appointed last year by President Donald Trump, on an otherwise empty five-member commission.
