Caroline Pham, acting chair of the CFTC, confirmed plans to introduce leveraged spot crypto trading on regulated exchanges as early as next month. This move aims to provide institutional oversight and risk management to crypto trading, which has previously been available mainly on offshore platforms.

The U.S. SEC and CFTC announced that registered trading platforms can now facilitate the trading of certain spot crypto assets, marking a shift in regulatory stance and aiming to establish a clearer framework for the crypto market ahead of pending legislation. The agencies are encouraging market participants to engage with them to navigate this new opportunity, highlighting their commitment to support growth in the crypto sector.
