Deep Dive
On October 5, 2026, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission published an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) that begins the formal rulemaking process for crypto-specific regulations. The notice, issued under Section 2(c)(2) (D) of the Commodity Exchange Act, focuses on retail commodity transactions involving margin, leverage, or other financing, while fully paid spot trades remain outside its current scope. The framework explores two regimes—Regulation Crypto Asset Transactions (CTX) and Regulation Crypto Asset Markets (CAM)—and could create a federal registration pathway for platforms offering leveraged retail crypto trading. Comments will be accepted for 60 days after the ANPRM is published in the Federal Register, and no final rule has yet been enacted.
Conclusion
Watch for the publication of the ANPRM in the Federal Register, the 60-day comment period, and any subsequent proposed rules that formalize the CTX and CAM requirements for retail leveraged crypto trading.
