CFTC Chair Mike Selig said that while Congress has yet to complete crypto legislation, the commission is advancing a voluntary federal registration pathway for crypto exchanges, bringing platforms closer to U.S. market regulatory standards.

He believes crypto markets should also benefit from the investor protections that have long been in place in U.S. derivatives markets. In the short term, registration may increase platforms’ compliance costs; in the long term, clear rules could help rebuild trust and attract traditional capital. Key issues going forward include whether the scope of registration, capital requirements, and enforcement rules can strike a balance between innovation and safety.#CFTC #加密合规 #U.S.Regulation
