Over the summer, it approved around-the-clock trading and greenlit perpetual futures on regulated platforms. It also rolled back some older internal guidance that many felt held the industry back. Additionally, the agency hosted its first-ever Crypto CEO Forum, providing industry leaders with a direct line to regulators.

The goal is to update the securities rulebook for a digital world. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> includes offering clarity around how tokens should be classified, improving access to capital through tools like airdrops and ICOs, and making it easier to issue tokenized versions of traditional assets like stocks and bonds. Much of this closely reflects the Trump <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">administration\u2019s<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> broader approach to crypto.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER: <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/new-cryptocurrency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Best New Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">White House Lays Down the Roadmap<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">All of this momentum stems from the detailed White House report that dropped just days before the sprint kicked off. That report calls for the CFTC to get <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">clear<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> authority over crypto exchanges that deal with non-security tokens. It also urges regulators <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">to finally settle the debate over stablecoin rules and self-custody protections<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. One standout suggestion is the CLARITY Act, which aims to put an end to the jurisdictional tug-of-war between agencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Institutions Are Paying Attention<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The timing of this new push seems to match growing interest from the finance world. A Deloitte survey recently found that nearly a quarter of CFOs in North America expect to hold crypto on their balance sheets within the next two years. And as regulatory direction becomes clearer, the market is showing signs of renewed confidence. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana have all seen a short-term bump since the news broke.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"cpp-crypto-chart cpp-crypto-chart-99btc cpp-crypto-chart-btc\" data-coin-symbol=\"btc\" data-price-usd=\"BTC Price (USD)\" data-main-color=\"#4caf05\" data-watermark-image=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/99bitcoins-logo.png\" data-chart-style=\"99btc\">\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-top-section\">\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-info-section\">\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-logo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cimg.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/26205235\/btc.svg\" alt=\"btc logo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-coin-details\">\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-labels-row\">\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-coin-name\">Bitcoin<\/div>\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-price-info\">Price<\/div>\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-market-cap\">Market Cap<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-values-row\">\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-coin-symbol\">BTC<\/div>\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-price\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-market-cap-value\">$2.29T<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cpp-chart-selectors cpp-chart-selectors-99btc\"><span class=\"cpp-chart-selector\" data-period=\"24h\">24h<\/span><span class=\"cpp-chart-selector\" data-period=\"7d\">7d<\/span><span class=\"cpp-chart-selector\" data-period=\"30d\">30d<\/span><span class=\"cpp-chart-selector\" data-period=\"1y\">1y<\/span><span class=\"cpp-chart-selector\" data-period=\"all_time\">All time<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><canvas id=\"cpp-chart-6891a58c1d47f\" class=\"cpp-chart-container cpp-chart-container-99btc\"><\/canvas><\/div>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Bigger Plan Is Coming Into Focus<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What regulators are <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">really<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> aiming for is a complete rework of how the crypto ecosystem is licensed and structured. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">They\u2019re<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> talking about combining custody, trading, and brokerage services under a single approval.

Will the CFTC get the green light to oversee spot trading for non-security tokens? How exactly will they draw the line between a security and a commodity? <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There\u2019s<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> also growing chatter about the political side of things, with critics pointing out how closely this effort mirrors <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Trump\u2019s<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> crypto interests and personal holdings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Industry Players Are Bracing for Change<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Crypto companies are already preparing. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Many are adjusting how they handle custody, token issuance, and compliance to match <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">what they think<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the new framework <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">will look like<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Meanwhile, investors are watching closely to see if the SEC and CFTC truly shift from aggressive enforcement to more open policy-building. Key areas under review include custody rules, reserve requirements for stablecoins, and how asset disclosures will work in this new era.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The crypto sprint has started, and this time, it looks like regulators mean business. Whether this results in lasting, thoughtful regulation or more uncertainty will depend on how fast and how <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">clearly<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> these new frameworks come together.
