Will this be the X factor for a new round of the cryptocurrency bull market? On January 27, 2026, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) will hold high-level talks.

Previously, there has been a long-standing jurisdictional dispute between the SEC and CFTC over whether crypto assets should be defined as 'securities' or 'commodities.' The core goal of this meeting is to promote coordination between the two agencies and provide clearer rules for the market.

The purpose of the meeting is to fulfill President Trump's promise to make the United States the 'world capital of cryptocurrency.' This key step in opening a new chapter in U.S. crypto regulation signals a shift from a 'chaotic game' to an era of 'orderly cooperation.'

The immediate effect is to release positive signals and plan a path, while the substantive impact will gradually emerge as specific rules (such as the SEC's 'innovation exemption') and the legislative process advance.
