The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has announced plans to convene a CEO forum aimed at discussing the upcoming launch of its pilot program for digital asset markets. The initiative will focus on exploring the integration of tokenized non-cash collateral, such as stablecoins, within traditional financial markets.
According to the CFTC’s press release, prominent cryptocurrency companies, including Circle, Ripple, Coinbase, and Crypto.com, are expected to participate in the forum. The discussions will delve into how distributed ledger technology (DLT) can facilitate the expanded use of non-cash collateral while ensuring compliance with existing financial regulations.
Caroline Pham, the acting chair of the CFTC, emphasized the significance of this initiative for the U.S. digital asset landscape. Pham reiterated the CFTC’s dedication to fostering responsible innovation and expressed her enthusiasm for collaborating with industry leaders. The goal is to advance the Trump administration’s vision of maintaining the U.S. as a leader in economic opportunity.
Pham has previously proposed using CFTC’s pilot programs as a regulatory sandbox to offer greater certainty for the cryptocurrency sector. The commission has successfully implemented similar programs since the 1990s.
In parallel, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is also working on cryptocurrency regulations and recently launched a new task force aimed at providing clearer guidelines for the industry.
