Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Acting Chairman Caroline D. Pham announced the launch of the CFTC’s next crypto sprint initiative aimed at implementing recommendations from the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets report. This marks the beginning of stakeholder engagement on all remaining report recommendations specific to the CFTC.
Acting Chairman Pham emphasized the Administration’s prioritization of enabling immediate trading of digital assets at the federal level. She welcomed the numerous thoughtful letters from stakeholders supporting the CFTC’s listed spot crypto trading initiative, which works in coordination with the SEC’s Project Crypto to fulfill President Trump's directive for American leadership in the digital asset space.
The public feedback will help the CFTC carefully address concerns relating to leveraged, margined, or financed retail trading on a CFTC-registered exchange as part of the implementation process. Chairman Pham described this moment as the dawn of a new era for crypto innovation, urging market participants to seize this opportunity to contribute to what she called the “Golden Age of innovation.”
Starting immediately, the CFTC will engage stakeholders on all report recommendations with full backing from the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets. This effort aims to operationalize the Administration’s promise to “win on crypto.” To facilitate public participation, the CFTC invites interested parties to submit written feedback and suggestions by October 20, 2025. All comments will be published on the CFTC website.
