🚨 BIG MOVE BY U.S. REGULATORS 🚨
The CFTC is quietly building the bridge between U.S. Treasuries 🏛️ and crypto 🚀 — and most people haven’t noticed yet.
On December 12, the CFTC approved an expansion of cross-margining for U.S. Treasuries.
This means customers (not just institutions) can now offset margin between Treasury futures cleared at CME Group — one of the largest crypto derivatives platforms in the U.S.
💡 Why this matters:
Cross-margining reduces collateral needs by netting related positions.
More efficiency = more liquidity = stronger markets.
According to CFTC Acting Chair Caroline Pham:
“Expanding cross-margining to customers will increase liquidity and resiliency in the most important market in the world.”
📊 For crypto, this is HUGE.
Market experts see this as a test run for a future where:
🔹 Treasuries
🔹 Tokenized funds
🔹 Bitcoin & Ethereum
🔹 Crypto derivatives
…could all live inside one unified clearing system.
🚀 Imagine this next:
Tokenized Treasury bills + spot BTC backing CME Bitcoin & ETH futures, all managed under the same risk and margin framework.
👀 It doesn’t stop there.
The CFTC has also launched a Digital Asset Collateral Pilot, allowing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC to be used as margin in regulated derivatives markets.
📈 Bottom line:
Traditional finance and crypto are no longer separate worlds.
They’re slowly merging — and the infrastructure is being built right now.
