TechFlow News, June 09: According to a Reuters report, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has canceled its plan to relocate into offices of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and will remain at its current headquarters.
According to a public procurement notice, the CFTC intends to renew its lease with its current landlord for five years, stating that the current location can accommodate its growing workforce and minimize operational disruptions while it assumes new regulatory responsibilities—including oversight of digital assets and prediction markets.
The report states that the CFTC had previously explored sharing office space with the SEC to coordinate regulation of the cryptocurrency industry and related trading platforms and firms, but both agencies decided in April not to proceed with the plan.
