On September 2, U.S. market regulators took coordinated measures to encourage the development of the crypto market, issuing a joint staff statement confirming that registered exchanges are not prohibited from offering specific spot crypto asset products.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) stated that the announcement reflects a shared position among the departments of both agencies, indicating that regulated platforms can conduct spot commodity trading in compliance.
The two agencies positioned this move as part of a broader effort to expand market choices and promote the return of digital asset innovation to the U.S.
SEC Chairman Paul Atkins described the joint statement as a milestone for the industry, emphasizing the agency's commitment to fostering competition among trading venues.
CFTC Acting Chair Caroline D. Pham characterized the announcement as a reversal of previous policy uncertainties and linked it to President Donald Trump's goal of making the U.S. the "global crypto capital."
This effort stems from two ongoing initiatives: the SEC's "Project Crypto" and the CFTC's "Crypto Sprint." Both projects are based on recommendations from the President's Working Group on Digital Assets and aim to modernize the regulatory framework.
The trading and market oversight departments of both agencies stated that they will continue to communicate with industry stakeholders to address concerns and assess potential products.
Registered exchanges are encouraged to consult with staff from either regulatory agency regarding compliance matters. Notably, the CFTC is preparing to restore U.S. access to foreign exchanges following the release of new guidance last month.
The joint statement indicates that the SEC and CFTC intend to maintain open channels of dialogue and anticipate taking further actions to support the growth and development of the U.S. digital asset market.
