HUGE: THE CFTC JUST LEGITIMIZED BITCOIN AS WALL STREET COLLATERAL
The CFTC just launched a pilot allowing $BTC (alongside $ETH & $USDC) to be used as collateral in U.S. derivatives markets.
That means:
✅ Bitcoin treated like real financial collateral
✅ Used inside regulated U.S. markets
✅ Built for institutions, not offshore workarounds
Bitcoin just moved from “tradeable asset” to financial plumbing.
