TechFlow News, March 20: Mike Selig, Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), posted on X stating that the agency has released a set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) regarding crypto assets and blockchain-related activities, further clarifying compliance guidance for registered entities and trading venues.
The FAQs address topics including tokenized collateral and digital assets used as margin, supplementing two prior staff letters—the Tokenized Custody Guidance and the No-Action Relief Guidance for Digital Asset Margin—thereby providing market participants with a clearer operational framework.
Selig added that aligning with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as “Project Crypto” becomes a joint initiative represents a critical step toward clarifying and harmonizing cryptocurrency regulatory rules.
