U.S. CFTC joins the SEC in proposing new crypto regulations, while the spot-market gap still remains.

The derivatives regulator has proposed two rules aimed at covering a wider range of crypto activities and exchanges, although direct spot-market trading is still not fully covered.

The proposals could be an important development for the U.S. crypto regulatory framework, but they are still proposals and not final rules.

The crypto industry will be watching closely for further developments.
