As reported by Coinotag, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has launched a digital asset margin pilot program, allowing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC to be used as collateral in U.S. derivatives markets. The initiative, part of the post-GENIUS Act regulatory framework, aims to promote domestic trading and reduce offshore activity by establishing clear guidelines for Futures Commission Merchants (FCMs). The pilot includes weekly reporting requirements and technology-neutral rules for tokenized real-world assets like Treasury securities. The CFTC also withdrew its 2020 Staff Advisory 20-34, which previously prohibited digital assets as collateral, to align with advancements in blockchain technology.
