The CFTC has swiftly moved to implement President Trump’s crypto strategy, launching a regulatory “sprint” just days after the White House released its digital asset policy recommendations.
Acting Chair Caroline Pham emphasized Friday that the agency is working closely with the SEC to execute “Project Crypto,” a key part of the administration’s push for U.S. dominance in blockchain innovation.
“The CFTC is fully aligned with President Trump’s mission to secure America’s position as the global crypto hub,” Pham stated.
The President’s Working Group outlined 18 recommendations, two of which directly mandate the CFTC to clarify crypto commodity rules and update derivatives frameworks. The remaining proposals involve cross-agency efforts with the SEC and Treasury.
