The CFTC issued an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to establish a regulatory framework for retail crypto asset transactions and trading venues, aiming to clarify and formally regulate when such transactions fall under its jurisdiction, particularly focusing on leverage, margin, and "actual delivery" of crypto assets.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
CFTC's move to formalise crypto trading rules opens a window for you to engage with the rulemaking process and adjust your platform compliance now. The regulator's definition of 'actual delivery' as control over private keys means custodial models must be re-evaluated immediately.
