The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) released a joint staff statement on Tuesday, announcing coordinated efforts to oversee and promote spot cryptocurrency trading in the United States.
The two agencies clarified that current laws do not prevent regulated U.S. or foreign exchanges, such as the National Securities Exchange (NSE), Designated Contract Markets (DCM), and Foreign Board of Trade (FBOT), from listing spot crypto products, including those with leverage and margin features.
This move is a response to the President's Working Group on Financial Markets' recommendations, which urged regulators to provide clarity and keep blockchain innovation within the United States.
Regulators stated that they are prepared to review exchange applications, address issues related to custody and clearing, and ensure that new spot markets meet standards for transparency, oversight, and investor protection. Market participants are invited to contact the SEC or CFTC regarding proposals and questions.
While crypto exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken have already offered spot trading, the statement indicates that if traditional financial venues choose to pursue such products, they will not be prohibited from listing similar products.
According to the staff guidance, major regulated venues such as Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange, the CME Group, and Cboe Global Markets, as well as certain foreign boards of trade recognized by the CFTC, may be eligible to list spot crypto products.
The staff guidance is the latest sign of a shift in U.S. digital asset policy under President Donald Trump's administration.
Since January, both Congress and the White House have been pushing for clearer rules surrounding the crypto market, from stablecoin regulations like the "Genius Act" to defining the roles of the SEC and CFTC.
On July 17, the House passed the "CLARITY Act," a market structure bill for cryptocurrencies, which will now be reviewed by the Senate.
In July, the President's Working Group on Financial Markets released a report urging regulators to provide "regulatory clarity that best keeps blockchain-based innovation within the United States," specifically calling for coordination between the SEC and CFTC on spot crypto trading.
