The CFTC is taking a major step toward modernizing U.S. derivatives markets 🚀
With its new digital assets pilot program, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC may now be used as collateral for derivatives trading. According to Acting Chair Caroline Pham, this initiative is designed to strengthen market infrastructure while supporting responsible innovation in the digital asset space.
This move could accelerate institutional adoption, improve capital efficiency, and further bridge traditional finance with crypto markets.
