The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has released an advance notice of proposed rulemaking to regulate leveraged or margined crypto asset transactions under the Commodity Exchange Act. The proposal includes creating a new limited designated contract market (DCM) registration category called Crypto Asset Market (CAM) and involves Futures Commission Merchants and Derivatives Clearing Organizations to manage retail leveraged crypto transactions, aligning with SEC proposals for crypto asset market regulation.
