Vlad Novakovski says the timeline for onchain perps approval for US traders is months away. "It's not weeks and it's not years. So we're talking about months." "We don't want to rush the regulator." "Our whole approach is building things the right way, going in through the front door." "Going through the process line by line, rule by rule." "It's not weeks and it's not years. It's months." @vnovakovski @lighter_xyz

🚨BREAKING: 🇺🇸 CFTC says it will move forward with clear crypto regulations, with or without new legislation from Congress.

🇺🇸 CFTC Says It Will Deliver Clear Crypto Rules With or Without Congress The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission said it will deliver clear crypto rules. The agency stated it will do so with or without legislation from Congress, according to WatcherGuru.

🚨 CFTC: CRYPTO RULES ARE COMING The CFTC says it will deliver clear crypto rules with or without action from Congress. 🇺🇸 U.S. crypto regulation is moving forward. 👀

Myth: US crypto rules only start when Congress passes a bill. The CFTC has opened a 60-day comment window on an advance notice covering crypto asset transactions. An advance notice is a request for comment, and no rule has been proposed yet.

Clarity died in Congress — crypto still got something it didn't need Congress for. Porter: Trump played a major role killing Clarity; CFTC/SEC rulemaking will set the rules for years.

CFTC Chair Cites BTC, ETH, SOL, XLM, XTZ and XRP as Examples of Digital Commodities CFTC Chair Michael Selig provided further details on the previously announced Regulation CTX and Regulation CAM framework. The proposed rules would generally require covered retail crypto transactions to be intermediated by futures commission merchants (FCMs) and impose requirements related to customer asset segregation, capital, anti-money laundering and proof of reserves. For onchain transactions, the CFTC is proposing to clarify that delivery of crypto assets to a user’s external, non-custodial wallet within 28 days would generally satisfy the “actual delivery” exception. Selig said the CFTC is also exploring a durable regulatory policy for developers who only publish software without soliciting or taking orders, controlling execution or holding customer assets. He also cited the CFTC and SEC’s joint crypto asset taxonomy, which lists BTC, ETH, SOL, XLM, XTZ and XRP as examples of “digital commodities.”

🚨 CFTC Chair Michael Selig: proposed rules would allow ONLY federally regulated crypto platforms to offer leverage. States limited to money transmission. 100x leverage—common offshore—was never allowed in the U.S. and won’t be. CFTC proposed 2 new rules for a U.S. crypto framework. ⚖️ #Web3 #Crypto #CFTC #Regulation #Leverage #DeFi #CryptoNews #Bitcoin #USCrypto

Hong Kong Targets Year-End for New Crypto Licensing Bill Hong Kong officials have reaffirmed plans to introduce a new crypto licensing bill before the end of 2026. The proposed rules would create licensing requirements for digital asset trading, custody, advisory and management services. The government says the expanded framework is needed as the crypto and financial technology sectors continue to develop. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has also begun processing stablecoin license applications, with two issuers receiving the first approvals in April. #Crypto #Blockchain #Hongkong #BitcoinNews #CryptoCurrency #BabaCrypto #btc #CryptoMarket #Ethereum #Trading
