Huge announcement from CFTC: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC are now official collateral in U.S. derivatives markets!
Under the GENIUS Act signed by Trump in July 2025, CFTC launched a pilot program on December 8:
- BTC, ETH, USDC as collateral for trades
- Removal of old restrictions from 2020
- 24/7 spot trading for crypto on registered exchanges
- Regulatory clarity for RWAs (real-world assets) like treasury bonds
This step turns the United States into the "global crypto capital," just as Trump promised!
The result? Greater liquidity, higher capital efficiency, and a potential rise in Bitcoin towards new ATHs.
Stablecoins under the GENIUS Act are 100% backed by dollars, with strict reserves and AML compliance – a perfect bridge between traditional and digital money.
