The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are set to hold a joint event today to discuss their coordinated efforts to deliver on President Donald Trump’s pledge to make the United States the “crypto capital of the world.”
This marks a notable moment for U.S. crypto regulation, as the SEC and CFTC have historically differed on jurisdiction and oversight of digital assets. A collaborative approach could signal progress toward clearer regulatory frameworks, improved inter-agency coordination, and greater certainty for crypto companies and investors.
Key discussion areas are expected to include:
•Regulatory clarity for digital assets
• Market structure and investor protection
• The role of crypto in U.S. financial competitiveness
• Pathways for innovation while maintaining compliance
📊 Why this matters:
Greater alignment between the SEC and CFTC could reduce regulatory friction, encourage institutional participation, and support long-term adoption of crypto markets in the U.S.
Markets will be closely watching for signals on policy direction and enforcement tone.
