The CFTC issued an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to clarify and regulate secondary-market trading of crypto asset transactions (CTXs) through two frameworks: Regulation CTX for retail commodity transactions and Regulation CAM for crypto asset markets. The rulemaking aims to provide clear definitions of covered offers and actual delivery of crypto assets, establish tailored registration pathways for exchanges, and replace prior enforcement-based regulation with transparent, federal oversight protecting retail customers.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You face a new federal rulemaking that replaces enforcement with clear registration and trading rules for crypto assets. Act now to adjust compliance or consider new market entry before the CFTC finalises its federal framework.
