SEC and CFTC Approve Spot Crypto Trading in U.S. Markets
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have greenlit spot cryptocurrency trading in domestic markets, marking a pivotal moment for digital asset regulation. This decision signals growing institutional acceptance of cryptocurrencies as tradable assets under federal oversight.
Market participants anticipate increased liquidity and reduced arbitrage opportunities as spot trading gains legitimacy. The MOVE follows years of regulatory ambiguity surrounding crypto's classification as securities or commodities.
