The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued a joint statement on September 3, endorsing the trading of certain crypto spot assets on their registered platforms. This move signals the regulators' intent to facilitate crypto market integration under existing regulations, ahead of Congress finalizing market structure legislation. The statement clarifies that SEC-registered National Securities Exchanges (NSE), CFTC-registered Designated Contract Markets (DCM), and Foreign Boards of Trade (FBOT) are not prohibited from offering crypto spot trading services. Platforms are encouraged to engage with the agencies to discuss implementation details.
