The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has removed its 28-day delivery rule for virtual currencies, clearing a key regulatory hurdle. The old rule treated crypto transactions as futures if delivery took longer than 28 days, subjecting them to CFTC oversight. With the rule gone, the CFTC is now supporting regulated leveraged products under the Commodity Exchange Act. KuCoin crypto exchange and other platforms can now operate under clearer guidelines. The CFTC is also running a pilot program allowing BTC, ETH, and USDC as collateral in derivatives markets. The trusted crypto exchange community is watching closely as the agency works on updated guidance.
