first_img CFTC Chairman Selig: The market needs to be ready for large-scale tokenization and 24/7 trading

Michael Selig, the chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), stated that regulators need to prepare for "mass tokenization" and adjust existing markets for new technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence. Selig mentioned at the U.S. Treasury Market Conference held by the New York Federal Reserve on Tuesday that developments like tokenization, on-chain finance, and 24/7 trading could lead to changes in the financial markets over the next decade that surpass the sum of the past several decades.Selig noted that the entire Trump administration laid the groundwork for the U.S. market to maintain its global leadership by embracing innovation, encouraging competition, and implementing reasonable regulations. The CFTC will also seek more ways to encourage market participants, exchanges, and clearinghouses to responsibly adopt stablecoins. Over the past year, the agency has issued guidance and sought public input on 24/7 trading in the energy derivatives market; in February of this year, the CFTC included stablecoins issued by National Trust Bank in the list of eligible collateral.Meanwhile, the CFTC's sister agency, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), released the highly anticipated "innovation exemption" last week, creating space for on-chain trading of tokenized stocks. After a bill regulating the cryptocurrency industry stalled in the Senate, the two agencies are advancing their respective agendas.

U.S. Republican Senator John Curtis called for an investigation into Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden, involving cryptocurrency business

U.S. Senator John Curtis from Utah, a Republican, wrote to Chuck Grassley, the Chairman of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, and Dick Durbin, the Chief Minority Whip, calling for an investigation into whether Donald Trump Jr. and Hunter Biden exploited their presidential family connections for personal financial gain, and requested subpoenas for both individuals. Curtis pointed out that Donald Trump Jr. had accepted wedding gifts from Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, actively promoted family-backed cryptocurrency ventures, and served as an advisor for a prediction market platform; the related companies are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Donald Trump stated that his son has returned the relevant funds to Umar Kremlev.Curtis also called for an investigation into Hunter Biden's substantial business dealings with foreign entities, as well as whether the two utilized their relationship with the president to create commercial value. He mentioned that Joe Biden pardoned Hunter Biden in December 2024, who had previously denied involving his father in business transactions. A week prior to this investigation call, Senate Republicans failed to garner enough Democratic support to advance the Digital Asset Market Clear Act. Some Democratic senators opposed the bill, citing reasons including Donald Trump's use of cryptocurrency ventures to gain benefits related to the presidency; Donald Trump disclosed that he earned $1.4 billion from digital asset-related businesses in 2025.

first_img Chief Legal Advisor of the U.S. SEC's Cryptocurrency Working Group Elaborates on the Path for Cryptocurrency Custody Rules

According to CoinDesk, Taylor Lindman, the Chief Legal Counsel of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Crypto Working Group, stated at the CoinDesk Policy & Regulation event held in Washington that the SEC is advancing rules for the custody of crypto assets. The relevant proposal has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review, covering investment companies and broker-dealers. She indicated that the rule aims to inform the market about how to hold non-securities crypto assets within broker-dealers without special registration and clarifies that investment advisors can store client assets in institutions such as state-chartered trusts.Once the proposal passes the review by the Office of Management and Budget, the SEC will formally present it and seek feedback from the industry and the public. Lindman also mentioned that the SEC will issue an employee statement in December 2025 as a transitional arrangement, guiding broker-dealers on handling crypto custody matters before the rules are implemented, and will allow investment advisors to store client assets in state-chartered trusts as qualified crypto custodians starting in September 2025.Lindman described the SEC's recent work as "laying the groundwork," including previously proposed rules allowing crypto issuance and exemptions for tokenized securities. She stated that the SEC is working to ensure that existing securities intermediaries and market participants can confidently use blockchain to hold and trade crypto assets. Previously, the SEC's attempts at custody rules under Gary Gensler in 2023 were abandoned, and a leadership supportive of crypto was appointed after the Trump administration took office.
