The SEC and CFTC, two longtime rivals, sat down at the same table for the first time in 14 years.
Today in Washington, the two agencies held their first joint roundtable in 14 years.
SEC Chair Atkins opened with a bold statement: "crypto is job one"—crypto is the top priority.
Acting CFTC Chair Pham chimed in: "turf war is over."
A few key details 👇
Trump wants the market structure bill signed into law this year. Tokenization is the SEC’s next key focus, but Atkins also acknowledged that building a regulatory framework will take another 1–2 years;
The CFTC said guidance for prediction markets is "coming soon."
I think this is a meaningful step toward greater regulatory clarity: the two agencies are no longer fighting each other, which means the path to compliance should get smoother.
That said, guidance is not law, and even Atkins said they "need input from Congress"—whether the bill will pass this year is still uncertain.
For now, I’m watching, not calling a trade based on one sound bite: the positive news is real, but follow-through depends on Congress.
If the market structure bill stalls this year, this optimistic narrative will need to be reassessed.
Where do you stand: will it really pass this year, or will it be another case of "all talk, no action"?
