According to The Wall Street Journal, Michael S. Selig, chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), announced on October 5 that the CFTC has officially proposed the first batch of regulatory rules for the cryptocurrency market, aimed at promoting innovation and protecting investors.Previously, due to Congress's failure to pass relevant bills clarifying the federal legal status of cryptocurrency assets, the CFTC and SEC turned to existing statutory powers to lead the formulation of market structure rules.
