💥 BREAKING NEWS: CFTC Approves Spot Crypto Trading on Regulated U.S. Exchanges – A First in History! 🇺🇸
NEW YORK, December 10, 2025, 4:51 AM EST – In a monumental decision set to redefine the U.S. cryptocurrency market,
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has announced a major regulatory shift, effective December 4, 2025. For the first time,

contracts for "spot crypto"—the direct buying and selling of actual digital assets, not derivatives—are now permitted to be traded on CFTC-registered exchanges.
This landmark move allows federally regulated futures exchanges,
$BNB
known as Designated Contract Markets (DCMs), to list and facilitate the trading of physical crypto contracts. Previously, U.S. retail traders were largely relegated to less-regulated offshore or private exchanges for spot trading,

which lacked the robust customer protections afforded by federal oversight.

Acting CFTC Chairman Caroline Pham stated that the decision integrates digital assets into the gold standard of market integrity that Americans deserve.

The new framework brings spot crypto transactions under the same regulatory umbrella as traditional commodities like gold and oil, ensuring enhanced surveillance, clearing, and settlement standards.

Market participants, including institutions and brokers, are expected to benefit from this regulatory clarity, which resolves long-standing compliance challenges. This development is widely viewed as a critical step toward mainstreaming digital assets in the U.S. financial system, providing investors with a safer, more transparent venue for trading.
