Citing AMBCrypto, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has confirmed that spot cryptocurrency products will begin trading on federally regulated exchanges for the first time. The decision, announced by Acting Chairman Caroline D. Pham on December 4, marks a major regulatory shift, allowing Americans access to fully supervised crypto markets. This move is part of the Trump Administration’s effort to position the U.S. as the global center for crypto innovation. Previously, spot trading in the U.S. occurred on state-regulated or unregulated platforms, limiting institutional participation. Now, CFTC-registered futures exchanges will list spot crypto products, unlocking institutional capital and improving market integrity. The CFTC also confirmed a rulemaking process for tokenized collateral and blockchain-based settlement. This development could reshape liquidity, custody, and institutional flows in crypto markets.
