The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has launched a forum for crypto industry CEOs to discuss an upcoming digital asset pilot program. The program will focus on exploring 'tokenized non-cash collateral,' including stablecoins. Key industry leaders from firms such as Circle, Coinbase, Crypto.com, and Ripple are expected to participate. Acting CFTC Chairman Caroline Pham emphasized the importance of ongoing engagement with the crypto sector to align with the administration's pro-crypto stance. This initiative, alongside recent regulatory changes at the CFTC, showcases a significant shift under the new administration. Pham plans to host staff roundtables to gather data and public input on topics such as digital asset regulation and consumer protection. The CFTC's reorganization includes a focus on combating fraud through distinct enforcement divisions. The changes illustrate the agency's commitment to adapting to evolving market trends and providing safeguards for U.S. economic growth.
