Crypto Leaders Kraken, Crypto.com to Face SEC-CFTC Regulatory Showdown

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) will convene a pivotal joint roundtable on regulatory harmonization on September 29 in Washington, D.C. The event, open to the public and webcast live, will feature three panels examining oversight of trading platforms, market participants, and digital asset services.

SEC Chair Paul Atkins and Acting CFTC Chair Caroline Pham will deliver opening remarks.
