Bitcoin News posted on platform X, stating that as the Clarity Act is stalled, regulators are independently formulating rules for the digital asset market based on existing authorities. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has solicited opinions on a framework for retail digital asset trading, which includes a new category of "crypto asset market" exchanges, with the comment period ending on December 14.The comment period for the Securities and Exchange Commission's proposed Regulation Crypto Assets will close on October 20. The pace at which regulators are crafting rules is faster than congressional legislation, but the relevant rules may face challenges in court or be rescinded by future commissions; a lasting regulatory framework still requires legislation.

Michael Passalacqua, Senior Advisor to the Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission and Head of the Innovation Working Group, introduced that after the Clarity Act was stalled, the CFTC is advancing Reg CAM, the "Crypto Asset Market" framework, which aims to provide a voluntary path for cryptocurrency trading platforms to come under the CFTC's nationwide unified regulation.This arrangement is primarily aimed at platforms that offer leveraged, margin, or financing trading to retail customers, allowing them to escape the patchwork of state money transmission licensing regulations; pure spot trading without leverage generally remains outside this mandatory framework. Passalacqua stated that the relevant rulemaking is currently in the public comment phase, and there is still no conclusion on whether the industry finds this proposal attractive.

Investment bank TD Cowen's Washington research group Managing Director Jaret Seiberg stated in a report released on Monday that the proposed rulemaking advance notice issued by the CFTC last week is a positive step for crypto platforms, but the agency may not complete the rulemaking until early 2028. As the 2028 election cycle approaches, there is a risk that the rule may ultimately not be implemented. Seiberg noted, "Time is running out," and expects that the CFTC will not issue proposals until the end of the first quarter or early second quarter of 2027, with final rules possibly not being finalized until early 2028.Last week, the CFTC proposed a federal regulatory framework for crypto platforms but avoided direct jurisdiction over spot market trading. According to Seiberg, the proposed rules will require platforms to maintain "reserve proof audits" and grant the CFTC jurisdiction over state-licensed platforms. Previously, the U.S. Senate failed to pass legislation that would grant the CFTC broad powers over spot crypto trading in a preliminary vote, leading the CFTC and SEC to intervene in regulating the crypto industry, including the introduction of long-awaited innovation exemptions, but both agencies lack the permanence that legislation could provide.Seiberg also pointed out that if the CFTC decides to expedite the rulemaking process, it may actually increase the risk of court intervention. He stated that speeding up this process would raise the risk of judges blocking the rule on procedural grounds, and even if the agency is cautious enough, legal challenges could extend beyond 2028.

Robot company Ultra announced the completion of a $62 million financing round, which includes a $50 million Series A led by Framework.Ultra stated that the robotics industry is facing issues of implementation and distribution, with deployment being the current bottleneck. The company believes that demonstrating the effectiveness of robots in controlled environments is relatively easy; the more challenging aspect is to have robots continuously operate and perform effectively in open environments, gain the trust of their human counterparts, and be able to repeat this process. Ultra claims that this is precisely the direction they are currently focusing on.

The Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Mike Selig, stated that the proposed regulatory framework for crypto assets by the CFTC will establish a federal-level regulatory system to protect exchange customers from risks such as fraud, market manipulation, and theft of customer funds, preventing a repeat of the FTX collapse.Mike Selig pointed out that the CFTC is working to introduce a market-based regulatory mechanism for crypto exchanges; he stated that critics opposing relevant measures and supporting the status quo may objectively benefit fraudsters, manipulators, and those misappropriating customer funds, and warned that the lack of appropriate regulation could leave opportunities for the next figure similar to Sam Bankman-Fried.

According to a report by OpenMarkets under CME Group, Vietnam signed Decision No. 1413/QD-TTg in July 2026, proposing to explore an independent regulatory framework for digital assets as part of the modernization of the financial system and reforms to integrate with global markets.Vietnam is also advancing the construction of international financial centers in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, developing financial technology and capital markets.

According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, the latest Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) released by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) attempts to utilize its existing authority to establish a market structure framework for spot trading in the crypto space. This framework will be built upon the existing DCM, DCO, and FCM registrations and create a new category called "crypto asset market."A significant difference from the Clarity Act is that the CFTC proposal is exploring a voluntary federal exchange registration pathway: spot exchanges that do not offer leverage can choose not to join this framework and continue to hold state money transmission licenses. Former CFTC Chairman Giancarlo stated that this provides exchanges with a "clear, voluntary single federal rulebook pathway" when customers trade using borrowed funds, and noted that the CFTC is acting within the authority granted by Congress in 2010, supported by court rulings recognizing assets like Bitcoin as commodities.Several lawyers have stated that this ANPRM is a "clever" or "creative" interpretation of Section 2(c)(2)(D) of the Commodity Exchange Act, potentially covering retail crypto spot trading that offers leverage, margin, or financing, even if customers do not actually use leverage. The proposal also addresses "actual delivery" under Section 2(c)(2)(D), seemingly focusing on whether customers own/control the assets rather than merely relying on the book records of a pooled account. However, the proposal still leaves significant questions regarding customer asset bankruptcy protection. Comments must be submitted within 60 days after the proposal is published in the Federal Register.
