Operational Clarity: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)'s recently launched pilot program allowing Futures Commission Merchants (FCMs) to accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC as margin collateral is already having an accelerating effect on institutional crypto adoption.
The Benefit: By allowing major institutional investors to use their existing crypto holdings to collateralize their derivatives trades, the program significantly removes friction and boosts capital efficiency, encouraging more institutional flow into US-regulated derivatives markets (which account for a huge portion of global crypto volume).
