On September 5, according to an official announcement, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) released a joint statement announcing that a roundtable will be held on September 29, 2025, to discuss regulatory coordination to support innovative products such as crypto assets, Decentralized Finance (DeFi), prediction markets, Perptual Futures, and combination Margin trading. The two agencies stated that as the securities and commodity derivation markets increasingly converge, coordinating the regulatory framework and reducing regulatory gaps are crucial for market innovation. The previously released joint statement regarding Spot crypto assets is just the first step; the SEC and CFTC will explore unified definitions of products and trading venues, streamline reporting and data standards, coordinate capital and Margin requirements, and utilize innovative exemption mechanisms to provide a clear and predictable regulatory environment for innovators and investors. The meeting will also discuss expanding trading hours, localizing prediction market contracts and Perptual Futures in the U.S., cross-product combination Margin, and DeFi innovative exemptions. The two agencies may consider taking synchronized actions to introduce Perptual Futures that meet investor and customer protection standards into the U.S. domestic market, potentially allowing these products to be traded on SEC and CFTC regulated platforms. The two agencies stated that this move aims to encourage the U.S. market to attract the return of innovative products while protecting investor interests and maintaining the U.S. leading position in the global crypto and Blockchain technology field.
