SEC and CFTC Plan Joint Framework To Align US Crypto Oversight

With the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission getting ready to sign a formal cooperation agreement, US authorities are getting closer to a coordinated strategy to crypto supervision.

The SEC-CFTC memorandum of understanding, according to reports, would provide precise rules for how the two organisations collaborate on the regulation of digital assets.

Reducing overlap, enhancing clarity, and fortifying the US position in the international cryptocurrency market are the objectives.

Crypto legislation is expected to move forward this year, according to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, who also stated that having clear laws will offer greater long-term certainty than depending solely on regulatory power.

The remarks were made at a joint public gathering when the two agencies talked about coordinating their strategies.

Jurisdiction remains a crucial problem, with the SEC expected to focus on tokenised securities, while the CFTC regulates crypto assets treated as commodities.

In order for market participants to understand which regulations are applicable, CFTC Chair Mike Selig emphasised the importance of having distinct limits.

In order to guarantee that future regulations comply with the CLARITY Act and prevent regulatory disputes, both agencies announced they are working with Congress.
